Global Livestock Environmental Assessment Model (GLEAM)
FAO has developed a suite of tools, models and data, to assess the impact of livestock on the environment, called GLEAM. Using a GIS framework to simulate bio-physical processes and activities along livestock supply chains using a life cycle assessment approach, the aim of GLEAM is to quantify production and the use of natural resources in the livestock sector and to identify the environmental impacts of livestock in order to contribute to the assessment of adaptation and mitigation scenarios to move towards a more sustainable livestock sector.
This year, a subsite was also published that includes GLEAM and GLW.
