Agriculture and Climate

What is the primary greenhouse gas emitted by cows during digestion?

• Oxygen

• Methane

• Carbon Dioxide

• Nitrous Oxide

How does seaweed help reduce methane emissions from cows?

• By containing compounds that can reduce methane production in cows when added to their diet.

• By making cows immune to methane production when added to their diet.

• By causing cows to produce more carbon dioxide when added to their diet.

• By increasing methane production in cows when added to their diet.

What is the process called by which cows release methane during digestion?

• Methane excretion

• Cow respiration

• Enteric fermentation

• Digestive emission

What is the impact of methane emissions from cows on climate change?

• Reduces the greenhouse effect

• Has no impact on climate change

• Causes acid rain

• Contributes to climate change by increasing the greenhouse effect

What are some strategies to reduce methane emissions from cows?

• Increasing the number of cows

• Using diesel-powered equipment for farming

• Reducing the amount of water for the cows

• Improving diet, using feed additives, and better manure management

How does the diet of cows affect their methane emissions?

• Certain types of feed can lead to more efficient digestion and less methane production.

• Feeding cows more can reduce their methane emissions

• The diet of cows has no impact on their methane emissions

• Cows emit more methane when they eat less

What role does seaweed play in the diet of cows to reduce methane emissions?

• Seaweed has no effect on methane emissions from cows

• Seaweed increases methane emissions from cows

• Cows do not eat seaweed

• Seaweed contains compounds that can reduce methane emissions from cows when added to their diet.

What are some potential drawbacks of using seaweed to reduce methane emissions from cows?

• Seaweed is a renewable resource and has no drawbacks

• Seaweed has no impact on methane emissions from cows

• Seaweed can be expensive to produce and may not be readily available in all regions. It may also have negative impacts on marine ecosystems if harvested in large quantities.

• Using seaweed can lead to an increase in methane emissions from cows

How do climate change and agriculture impact each other?

• Climate change only affects urban areas

• Agriculture has no impact on climate change

• Climate change can impact agriculture through changes in temperature, precipitation, and extreme weather events, while agriculture can contribute to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation.

• Climate change has no impact on agriculture

What are some sustainable agricultural practices to mitigate climate change?

• Burning of crop residues

• Increased use of chemical fertilizers

• Deforestation for agricultural expansion

• Crop rotation, agroforestry, conservation tillage, cover cropping, and organic farming
