6 Ways #GoatFarming Impacts the Environment That Support #Sustainability

Excerpts: "Goats produce significantly less #methane than #cattle, emitting approximately 5 kg of methane annually compared to 70-120 kg from cows. Their efficient digestive systems extract more nutrients from fibrous plant material while generating fewer greenhouse gases. This lower methane output makes goats a more climate-friendly protein source, especially when raised on marginal lands unsuitable for crop production.

[...]

"Goats offer a chemical-free alternative for controlling #InvasivePlant species that threaten native #ecosystems. Their unique browsing habits target woody plants and weeds that other livestock avoid, effectively reducing invasives like #kudzu, poison ivy, and multiflora rose without #herbicides. You’ll find that targeted goat grazing preserves soil health and protects beneficial insects and microorganisms that chemical treatments typically harm.

[...]

"Goat #manure offers exceptional #composting potential due to its pellet form and balanced nutrient profile. When properly composted, these droppings transform into valuable organic fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The composting process eliminates pathogens while preserving beneficial microorganisms that enhance soil structure. You’ll find that goat manure composts faster than cow manureβ€”typically ready in 2-3 months versus 4-6 months for cattle waste."

The impact of megafires on biodiversity

Fires are becoming more severe, extensive, and frequent due to human-caused climate change.

β€œThe impact of bushfires on wildlife can be catastrophic. Native animals are often unable to escape fires and are highly vulnerable to death, dehydration, disorientation, burns, injury, and the loss of food and habitat."

Evolution of deserts (Deserts 🏜️)

A desert is a landscape where little precipitation occurs and, consequently, living conditions create unique biomes and ecosystems. The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to denudation. About one-third of the land surface of the Earth is arid or semi-arid. This includes much of the polar regions, where little precipitatio...

Microbes may be invisible, but they underpin planetary and ecosystem health β€” and are increasingly threatened by climate change, pollution and land use change.

A new IUCN specialist group aims to put microbes on the conservation agenda, including Red and Green Lists for at-risk species.

"Sadly suppressing such a devastating report doesn't make the risks go away - it just makes them even harder to deal with,"

Facing up to the truth is the first step to coping with it - it's beyond scandalous that ministers tried to prevent this. They need to act - and fast."

Caroline Lucas, Former Green Party Leader
