Stacking Interventions Enhances Carbon Removals and Profitability of Livestock Production Systems.

ABSTRACT: While previous studies have primarily examined the impacts of singular interventions on GHG emissions reduction and carbon dioxide removals (CDR), few studies explore complementarities and antagonisms when multiple interventions are simultaneously operationalized. Here, the aim is to examine how stacking of two pathways for mitigation-CDR, via soil organic carbon (SOC) accrual and GHG emissions avoidance via antimethanogenic feed additives-impacts net GHG emissions associated with sheep production. A nonlinear programing approach is invoked to elicit optimal combinations of grazing management and antimethanogenic feed additives to maximize farm profit and/or minimize net GHG emissions. It is shown that stacking multiple interventions realizes that greater abatement and profit do any singul
