GANASUR Project

Timeframe

July 2024 to June 2026

Countries

Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay

The Project

Through collaboration among Southern Cone countries, this project aims to estimate the productive, environmental, and economic benefit for farmers from implementing GHG mitigation strategies in the cattle sector to drive future development, investment, coordination and planning.

Expected Outcomes

  1. Characterise the most relevant representative cattle production systems in Southern Cone countries of Latin America.

  2. Identify and prioritise the main strategies for mitigating methane and nitrous oxide emissions from cattle (including productivity/efficiency improvements) in each production system.

  3. Assess and prioritise the most appropriate mitigation options for each system.

  4. Evaluate the economic impact and opportunity costs and implementation barriers at farm level from implementing proposed mitigation strategies.
