IEEE OFCCT 2023: Keynote 1.2: Mitigating Livestock's Climate Footprint: How Can Electronics Help?

Livestock production faces a twofold challenge: is not only greatly affected by the effects of climate change, which can change the historical conditions and thus drastically reduce efficiency, but also a major driver in the generation of anthropogenic Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for more than 10% of total emissions. In this presentation, the application of electronics solutions are analyzed, first to mitigate the influence of climate change on production systems, and secondly their pivotal role in curbing overall emissions. Some already existing solutions will be presented as well as possible applications and trends in the near future.
