The largest fraction of the greenhouse effect from beef production comes from the loss of CO2- absorbing trees , grasses and other plants. Also the methane given off by animal waste and themselves as they digest food. A solution to this is improving waste management and farming practices will certainly reduce the carbon foot print of beef production. Beef and other meat produce a huge amount of greenhouse gasses mostly methane and nitrous oxide. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has even estimated that livestock production is responsible for 18% of greenhouse gases. There are many solutions to reducing this situation, eating at least one meat free meal a day helps another one is that to buy organic foods and local foods letting your local farms know that organic is the best way to reduce has many benefits.
