*2.1.3 Management of manure*

Handling, treatment and storage (Management of manure) of manure account for 7% of emissions from agriculture. Anaerobic breakdown of manure produces methane (methanogenesis) while aerobic handling of manure produces nitrous oxide (Nitrification) and then anaerobically (denitrification) hence often increased when the available nitrogen exceeds that of plant requirements [12]. Due to high demand expected for beef and dairy products globally especially from the developing world, methane emissions from enteric fermentation are expected to increase by 32% [11].
