Summary in the original language of the document
Ruminants, including sheep, significantly contribute to methane emissions, which results in high emissions per kg of product. Conversely, ruminants can utilise plant material unsuitable for human consumption, effectively converting it into valuable, protein-rich food. Grazing also maintains cultural landscapes and contributes to carbon sequestration. Therefore, under- standing the balance between these factors in the context of climate change is essential. This study analyses the environmental impact of meat, milk, and wool production from sheep farming in Norway and Slovenia.
