Resumo: Global demand for food is increasing, which pressures for greenhouse gas emissions reduction or neutralization to mitigate the climate change. In this context, Brazil has developed technologies to produce beef with lower carbon emissions. This study aimed to evaluate a low carbon strategy for intensifying beef cattle raising in areas of consolidated use in sandy soils of the Brazilian Cerrado, West of Bahia's State, through enteric emissions, liveweight gain (LWG) and changes of stocks of soil organic carbon (SOC) from 0 to 40 cm layer. SOC calculations were performed in 2019 and 2021 using the DNDC model and Urquiaga et al. (2016) protocol, while enteric methane emissions used the ALU model.
