Sustainable livestock farming needs accurate data. A commonly repeated claim is that it takes huge volumes of water to produce a kilogram of red meat - but this comes from counting every single drop of water falling on grazing land: youtube.com/shorts/ld8JqJ8th1M
Can we feed livestock better for a more sustainable future?
@bioversityciat.bsky.social, ILRI, ICARDA and the Global Methane Hub think so.

Reductions in animal antibiotic use will stall if farmers lack security, support and the right incentives. Stewardship must be grounded in equity, adapted to climate realities, and responsive to those who raise the animals that feed the world.
