Efforts to mitigate climate change within the livestock sector have received little attention in Indonesia. Despite its relatively small contribution compared to the industrial and energy sectors, the livestock sector’s role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions can help lower global temperatures and prevent extreme global warming. According to BMKG data (2022), the average concentration of methane emissions worldwide has been steadily increasing since January 1980, reaching 1,909.3 ppb by December 2021, up from 1,620 ppb. The livestock sector ranks as the third-largest contributor of methane, accounting for 20 to 25% of total global methane emissions. Most of the methane emissions from the livestock sector are generated by ruminant animals through the complex fermentation process in their stomachs (rumen), which is later released through feces and belching.
The Nutrifood Leadership Award (NLA) is an initiative by Nutrifood Indonesia aimed at recognizing Indonesian students with leadership potential in the field of biology.
