Talk:Livestock's Long Shadow

message: The text
"The report has come in for criticism. In October 2008 after one of the contributing authors, Dr. Pierre Gerber, an FAO livestock policy officer admitted publicly the livestock emissions figure included emissions arising from deforestation and other land clearance measures.
Originally, the report claimed the world's livestock industry "generates 65 per cent of human-related nitrous oxide, which has 296 times the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of CO2"[3] and "that livestock are responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, a bigger share than that of transport."[4]
In October 2008, however, Dr. Pierre Gerber admitted to Glenn Tyrrell, the marketing manager of New Zealand meat company, Silver Fern Farms, that the report included emissions from deforestation for livestock production as opposed to just animal emissions. "Livestock’s role in deforestation is of proven importance in Latin America, the continent suffering the largest net loss of forests and resulting carbon fluxes (p. 91)." Its inclusion inflated emssions attrbutable to livestick by a third (or 6% of the reported total). This actually means emissions of live stock should be read as 12% and not the 18% the report claims [1]."
is based on inacurate second hand information; I have thus removed it.

message: In regard to reference 4: Obviously the FAO comparisson was flawed, but how could one conclude this: »producing less meat and milk would only result in “more hunger in poor countries” and that efforts should be focused on “smarter farming, not less farming”.« Is this newspaper article enough of a reference. Mitloehner's name is not in the report itself. He is part of the FAO Steering Committee, but also referenced with: »The International Feed Industry Federation, 2013 LEAP Chair«! What authorizes him to talk for the FAO and where does the FAO admit this flaw in its report? Fspade (talk) 10:22, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
