What is it about?
An equation is described, which provides a way of organising assumptions so that emissions intensity trait weightings can be derived without complex bioeconomic models

Genetic improvement in most livestock industries already improves emissions intensity, and there are potential opportunities to accelerate these gains by shifting more selection emphasis to traits that improve emissions intensity.
