Climate and Nature-based Interventions in Livestock: Assessing the mitigation potential and financing flows

Nature-based solutions produce better outcomes than tech-based solutions in the livestock sector, a report by FAIRR has found. Published in January 2025, this study compares the effectiveness of 22 nature and tech climate solutions that are commonly used to mitigate the impacts of livestock farming across the nine planetary boundaries within which humans can live safely. The study found nature-based solutions had more of a positive impact on six of the boundaries, including GHG reductions and removals, biodiversity and freshwater use. Tech-based solutions performed better on only three.
