The aim of the operation is to develop assumptions, implement and practically verify methods of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing carbon sequestration in agriculture. Computer software will be developed for selecting reduction methods and estimating their efficiency and cost-effectiveness (climate impact calculator) for the pork and beef production system certification (QAFP, QMP). The proposed operation will allow the practical implementation of animal production methods that reduce GHG emissions from both animal husbandry and its feed base.Through the participation of farms in the pioneering low-emission quality system, it will be possible to demonstrate the measurable effect of emission reductions for international reporting purposes.The results of the operation will contribute to the dissemination of low-emission methods on farms. Currently, there is no system or measure in Poland directly aimed at reducing greenhouse gases in animal production. The implementation of

1. Widely available catalogue for GHG reduction and carbon sequestration methods in pork and beef production, especially under QMP and QAFP quality systems. 2. Implementation of low-carbon pork and beef production methods (especially QMP and QAFP) in production practice. 3. Development of a computer-based climate impact calculator. 4. Publication of a scientific monograph on production methods that reduce GHG emissions and increase carbon sequestration.
