Integrated livestock sector nitrogen pollution abatement measures could generate net benefits for human and ecosystem health in China

Zhiping Zhu et al.

Summary: High-resolution maps of livestock production in China show that improvements in breeding, feeding, and manure management can reduce nitrogen pollution and bring benefits to both humans and ecosystems. However, the lack of detailed spatial livestock production data hampers ongoing pollution mitigation strategies.

Relocate 10 billion livestock to reduce harmful nitrogen pollution exposure for 90% of China's population

Zhaohai Bai et al.

Summary: Spatial planning and policy can play a crucial role in reducing human exposure to ammonia pollution in China's livestock sector. By relocating animals according to crop-livestock integration criteria, nitrogen emissions can be significantly reduced, leading to a decrease in the number of people exposed to high ammonia emissions. Therefore, spatial planning serves as a powerful tool in combating nitrogen pollution and minimizing human exposure to ammonia.

On-Farm Experimentation to transform global agriculture

Myrtille Lacoste et al.

Summary: On-Farm Experimentation (OFE) involves restructuring farmer-researcher relationships and addressing complexity and uncertainty through joint exploration, potentially transforming agriculture globally. Digitalization plays a critical role in motivating and enabling OFE by increasing scales and complexity when investigating agricultural challenges.

Decoupling livestock and crop production at the household level in China

Shuqin Jin et al.

Summary: The study finds a significant decrease in the proportion of rural Chinese households engaging in both livestock raising and crop planting, highlighting the need to rebuild the connections for sustainable agriculture. Livestock manure, once a key source of nutrients in traditional farming, is now being underutilized, leading to resource wastage and environmental damage. Rebuilding the links between livestock and croplands at a regional scale offers important opportunities for the sustainable intensification of agriculture in China.

Nitrogen budgets of contrasting crop-livestock systems in China

Xinpeng Jin et al.

Summary: The study systematically evaluated the nitrogen budgets of the crop-livestock production system in China from 1980 to 2050 by identifying differences in 20 distinct livestock systems. There were large variations in total nitrogen flow through the system over time and different systems contributed differently to the total nitrogen budgets.

Operational costs and neglect of end-users are the main barriers to improving manure treatment in intensive livestock farms

Meixiu Tan et al.

Summary: This study reports farmers' perceptions of manure management techniques on dairy and poultry farms in China. It found limited adoption of manure treatment techniques, influenced by environmental benefits perceptions and government incentives, while barriers include high operation cost, technical failures, and lack of a functioning manure market. The study suggests a need for capacity building in the manure management chain and emphasizes the importance of government support for actual operation of treatment techniques and end users of manure treatment products.

Mitigation of Multiple Environmental Footprints for China's Pig Production Using Different Land Use Strategies

Weitong Long et al.

Summary: Pig production has a significant impact on the environment, and implementing comprehensive strategies can greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and land use, but a single strategy may have environmental side effects. Reallocating cropland used for pig feed to plant-based alternatives can increase human-edible energy and protein delivery, reduce carbon and nitrogen footprints, except for rice and vegetables.

Income, consumer preferences, and the future of livestock-derived food demand

Adam M. Komarek et al.

Summary: In the coming decades, global demand for livestock-derived foods is projected to increase, with the fastest per person growth in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa; per person demand for red meat in high-income countries may decline, largely due to rising red meat prices.

Small targeted dietary changes can yield substantial gains for human and environmental health

Katerina S. Stylianou et al.

Summary: This study combines a new epidemiology-based nutritional index and 18 environmental indicators to estimate the positive impact of specific food substitutions. The analysis shows that substituting only 10% of daily caloric intake from beef and processed meat for fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes and selected seafood could offer substantial health improvements and reduce dietary carbon footprint.

The increasing global environmental consequences of a weakening US-China crop trade relationship

Guolin Yao et al.

Summary: The study found that China's tariffs on US agricultural products cause American farmers to shift to more pollution-causing crops, leading to increases in nitrogen and phosphorus pollution as well as water usage. If redirected to Brazil, while it could reduce nitrogen pollution and water stress, it may worsen phosphorus pollution and deforestation. Trade policies promoting crop production in the most efficient way in terms of nutrient and water use could help reduce pollution and water depletion. The potential environmental consequences of the US-China crop trade tensions are significant and could affect other countries, particularly Brazil and other South American countries, through international trade.

China's food loss and waste embodies increasing environmental impacts

Li Xue et al.

Summary: Characterizing and quantifying food loss and waste (FLW) is crucial for sustainable food systems. This study in China provides FLW data for various commodities at different stages of the food supply chain, along with associated environmental footprints and effectiveness of FLW reduction scenarios. The research reveals that a significant amount of food is lost or wasted annually in China, with postharvest handling and out-of-home consumption activities being major contributors.

PORK PRODUCTION SYSTEMS IN CHINA: A REVIEW OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT, CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS IN GREEN PRODUCTION

Shuai Zhang et al.

Summary: This paper reviews the significant changes in pork production in China since the 1990s, shifting from family-based production systems to large-scale intensive production. While modern technologies are widely adopted, smallholders still play a significant role in total production. The future of the pork sector in China is expected to continue towards intensification and specialization, while facing increasing pressure to develop more environmentally-sustainable production systems.
