Managed Grazing
Below is all the information about the project: Managed Grazing
Livestock grazing covers over 3.3 billion hectares, or 25% of the world’s land, making it the largest land use by humans. Poor grazing practices have led to land degradation and loss of soil carbon, while managed grazing can enhance carbon sequestration by controlling grazing intensity and timing. Project Drawdown defines managed grazing as strategically adjusting grazing practices to improve soil and vegetation health, replacing conventional grazing on grasslands. This approach can sequester 0.5 to 3 metric tons of carbon per acre, with methane and nitrous oxide emissions from ruminants offset by carbon sequestration until soil saturation is reached.
Impact:
Managed grazing can sequester 13.72-20.92 gigatons of carbon dioxide by 2050. However, this does not reduce the 10 gigatons of methane that are emitted on that grazing land today. To achieve this level of sequestration, adoption of managed grazing practices would need to increase from 71.6 million hectares to 502.1-749.02 million hectares over 30 years. Lifetime net operational savings are US$604.53-935.41 billion on a US$31.73-49.14 billion initial investment.
