“…In developing the NDC in Colombia, the government assessed how different options of pasture reduction, limiting deforestation and stalling the expansion of palm oil deliver on both emissions reductions and private profits (diagram 6). The results strengthened the case for government programmes to support pasture reduction, which delivers both higher profits and emissions reductions (De Pinto et al 2016).…”

“…Adequate agricultural research systems, new feed processes and technologies are crucial [45]. Consequently, in order to decrease GHG emissions, a correct implementation of resources' transformative approaches (water, fertilizers, fossil fuels, and waste) is necessary especially when considering that countries belong to a global economic system that can determine changes over the world, for example by affecting commodity prices and thus budgetary implications [46].…”

R&D Expenditure for New Technology in Livestock Farming: Impact on GHG Reduction in Developing Countries

et al. 2019

The achievement of the objectives of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has increasingly received attention and support from decision makers and research by scholars. The livestock sector has always been one of the major sources of GHG emissions, especially in developing countries that do not have green technologies to improve the management of livestock waste. In order to achieve an absolute reduction in emissions, developed countries have applied a wide range of mitigation options; however, there are few studies from the developing world, although greenhouse gas emissions in developing countries have registered a rapid growth. Therefore, this research aims to assess and understand whether public R&D investments can affect emissions deriving from the livestock sector in developing countries. We made use of the FAOSTAT data (FAO Statistical Databases United Nations) and ASTI data set (Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators), collecting data from 29 Africa countries, in 2014 (latest data available). The data were analyzed by means of a Generalized Propensity Scores (GPS) approach, an increasingly widespread technique that is more robust than regression models, especially in small datasets. Our analysis suggests that the livestock sector in these countries shows an improvement in its relationships with the environment and GHG emission levels when the level of public R&D (Research and Development) investment on agriculture is greater. Therefore, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by investing in research and development can lead to more efficient and sustainable resource management for developing countries.Future in-depth studies should broaden these results by assessing in developing countries the impact of public investment in R&D on GHG emissions also in relation to other key factors such as environmental regulation, market demand, environmental management systems and organizational innovations.

“…4 The method used by IFPRI followed a typical ex-ante modelling approach, explored in different forms in similar work (e.g. De Pinto et al, 2016;Rutten, van Dijk, van Rooij, & Hilderink, 2014), and relied on three different sub-models to simulate the effects of alternative policies. It used a combination of tier 1, 2, and 3 metrics and although it did not explicitly identify land use transitions, results were geographically disaggregated at the district level.…”
