Abstract
The global food system is facing the task of sustainably feeding a growing population under the effects of climate change. Amidst concerns about its environmental impact, the livestock sector plays a crucial role in addressing this challenge, serving as a vital element for the food security and economic well-being of millions. Grasslands are an essential source of forage for livestock, accounting for half of the total biomass consumed by the entire livestock industry. Currently, a considerable portion of global grasslands already suffers from degradation due to inappropriate grazing practices, and overgrazing issues are anticipated to exacerbate with increasing demand for livestock products.
Consequently, the response of grasslands to climate change will determine the extent to which increasing anthropogenic pressures will impact the health of these ecosystems
