3rd CCARBON/USP Symposium - Sustainable and Resilient Livestock: Ecological Strategies for Climate Mitigation and Biodiversity Conservation (DOI: 10.37856/9786589722939.fealq.2025)

The 3rd CCARBON/USP Symposium gathered researchers, students, and professionals to discuss the latest scientific advances and innovative practices for low-carbon and climate-resilient livestock systems in Brazil. The event featured presentations and posters covering ecological, technological, and policy solutions to improve productivity while reducing environmental impacts.

Research contributions highlighted new insights into pasture management, carbon sequestration, emission reduction strategies, and integrated production systems. Discussions also explored indicators for environmental performance, ecosystem services, traceability technologies, and the role of livestock in sustainable food security.

The symposium’s thematic areas included:

- Ecological strategies for pasture management
- Silvopastoral systems and biodiversity conservation
- Carbon sequestration in pastures and native forests
- Greenhouse gas mitigation in livestock
- ILPF systems and climate resilience
- Environmental indicators in sustainable livestock
- Economic and environmental impacts of livestock
- Ecosystem services in productive landscapes
- Public policies for emission reduction
- Soil and vegetation conservation
- Technological innovation and traceability
- Livestock’s role in food security
- Carbon monitoring and certification
- Education and training for regenerative practices

The event strengthened collaboration among academia, industry, and government, reinforcing Brazil’s leadership in developing sustainable livestock systems driven by science, technology, and innovation.
