Studies have shown that the meat, eggs, and dairy products are more nutritious than foods produced on unsustainable farms.

# data[].attributes.body
A sustainable way to farm animals consists in raising them on pasture. This allows animals to move freely in their natural environment where they are able to eat nutritious grasses and other plants that their bodies are adapted to.

What common gas has an extremely high global warming potential (a rating of how strongly a molecule behaves as a greenhouse gas) and continues to increase each year? Most people would probably answer CO 2. But methane is also a greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential (per molecule) that's 25 times higher than carbon dioxide.

Methane comes from, among other things, the decomposition of organic matter. The biggest man-made contributor however, isn't oil or manufacturing, but rather agriculture. The annual amount of greenhouse gases emitted by the agricultural sector is estimated to be 10 to 12% of total global greenhouse gas emissions and growing, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC).

Here are several ways you can help reduce the level of methane in our atmosphere:
Support Organic Farming Practices
Organic farmers keep livestock longer instead of replacing old cows with younger calves. Young calves produce no milk but still contribute methane gases. Using a cow into its later years means the total number of cows is fewer leading to less methane in the atmosphere.
Eat Less Red Meat
If the amount of red meat consumed is limited, there will be fewer cows contributing to methane emissions.
Support Farms who use "digesters"
Anaerobic "digesters" utilize microorganisms to decompose cattle manure within a huge container. The resulting biogas can be harvested and used for "free" electricity production, rather than be expelled into the atmosphere.
Become Active in Your Community:
Landfills actively produce methane. Many communities are organizing to help convert this greehouse gas from a pollutant into energy.

The Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was launched by a UN Summit in New York on 25-27 September 2015 and is aimed at ending poverty in all its forms. The UN 2030 Agenda envisages "a world of universal respect for human rights and human dignity, the rule of law, justice, equality and non-discrimination". It is grounded in the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and international human rights treaties and emphasises the responsibilities of all states to respect, protect and promote human rights. There is a strong emphasis on the empowerment of women and of vulnerable groups such as children, young people, persons with disabilities, older persons, refugees, internally displaced persons and migrants.

The Agenda's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), and their 169 targets, aim at eradicating poverty in all forms and "seek to realize the human rights of all and achieve gender equality".

The contribution of the Council of Europe

The Council of Europe contributes to achieving these goals through most of its sectors through work funded by the ordinary budget as well as with extra-budgetary contributions. SDG number 16 "Peace, justice and strong institutions" is particularly relevant for the Council of Europe, with virtually every sector of the Organisation being involved in achieving the goal.

The sustainable development agenda is particularly important for the Organisation's development co-operation programmes. The Council of Europe's new Project Management Methodology is also there to ensure that methods as well as substance of these programmes contribute to achieving the agenda, including through a human rights approach. Overall, the cooperation programmes carried out via the Office of the Directorate General of Programmes are currently worth €200 Million. For more information, see the Council of Europe's thematic page.
