The training focused on the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions from these sources. It addressed both the technical and policy aspects - as well as the nexus between the two - of the livestock production and climate change. Key questions of the greenhouse gas emissions of the livestock sector, as well as the relevant technical options available, were actively discussed throughout the course of the training.

One day field trip was arranged on 28 July for participants to visit Kachanaburi Farm in Suphanburi province. Kanchanaburi farm is an integrated farm with 20,000 pig heads. The farm adopts good farming practices, and environmental and energy saving measures. The farm has a covered lagoon with the generator used for generating the electricity. This helps save 40% of its electricity cost.

The Training was attended by 36 participants from the Department of Livestock Development, academic institutions, private sectors, as well as international organizations.
