Pasture-based systems often have less GHG intensity from a land use basis than conventional systems.
“Alternatively, pasture-based systems often have less GHG intensity from a land use basis (Cardoso et al., 2016).”
From Ecosystem Impacts and Productive Capacity of a Multi-Species Pastured Livestock System (2020) · cites this paper as Cardoso et al., 2016
Section 3.5 reports that improving degraded pasture to a mixed grass–legume pasture reduced GHG emissions per kilogram of carcass by 50%. The Conclusions also report less land required per kilogram under intensified production. These are comparisons among beef-production scenarios, not evidence that pasture-based systems generally have lower GHG emissions per unit of land than conventional systems. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
