Tackling a Critical Data Gap in Livestock Emissions

📊 Tackling a Critical Data Gap in Livestock Emissions Methane — a potent greenhouse gas — represents a significant portion of emissions from livestock systems globally, but in Nigeria its measurement has largely been based on broad estimates rather than accurate field data.
