Livestock’s Long Shadow: Systems
• Grazing (> 10% dry feed matter produced on farm, <10 livestock units/ha)
• Rainfed mixed (> 90% non-livestock farm production from rain fed land use)
• Irrigated mixed (> 10% non-livestock farm production from irrigated land use)
• Landless/industrial (< 10% dry feed matter produced on farm, >10 livestock units/ha)
