Manure produces methane, most of which is produced during its storage. A reduced storage time will thus minimize methane emissions. Emissions can be reduced if passage through the rumen takes place faster. Carbon may also be stored in construction materials that will not decay, such as fiberboard made from cereal straw, straw bale, flax fibers. Efficient irrigation will prevent the loss of nutrients through erosion.
Wetland restoration can help in storing nutrients as well.
Many of these measures relate to using resources efficiently. They are, thus, economically profitable as well. All Rights reserved.
