Climate change

The climate change research programme aims to:

  • Understand the key issues for beef and sheep producers including the range in carbon footprints and the main components of that footprint.

  • Identify the opportunities and challenges facing the beef and sheep supply chain as a result of climate change and environmental regulations.

  • Investigate methods to mitigate the effects on climate change of current livestock systems.

  • Details of our latest climate change research projects are shown below. Select an item to view information about that specific project. Or email the R&D team about climate change issues.
