As a result, about 26 percent of the total area in East Asia suffers from significant nutrient surpluses, mainly from agricultural sources. For instance, the region has a 47 percent surplus of phosphorus and a 16 percent surplus of nitrogen, both from animal manure. This contributes significantly to the degradation of regional water quality. To address this issue, the Global Environment Facility (GEF) funded the Livestock Waste Management in East Asia (LWMEA) Project. This smart lesson discusses major challenges faced and key lessons learned from implementing that regional project.en-USCC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGOABSORPTIVE CAPACITYAGRICULTUREANAEROBIC DIGESTIONANIMALANIMAL MANUREBIOGASCARBONCARBON DIOXIDECHEMICAL FERTILIZERCLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMCLIMATE CHANGECOALECOSYSTEMSEMISSIONSENERGY PRODUCTIONENERGY SAVINGSENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESSENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL POLICIESENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCYENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE LIVESTOCK PRODUCTIONEQUIPMENTFARMFARMERSFISHFUELGLOBAL ENVIRONMENTGLOBAL METHANE EMISSIONSGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASHUMAN HEALTHHYDROGENINDUSTRIAL LIVESTOCK PRODUCTIONINDUSTRIAL PIGINTEGRATIONLIVESTOCKLIVESTOCK FARMSLIVESTOCK PRODUCERSLIVESTOCK PRODUCTIONLIVESTOCK WASTELIVESTOCK WASTE MANAGEMENTLIVESTOCK WASTE MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGYMANURE MANAGEMENTMETHANEMINESNATURAL GASNATURAL GAS SYSTEMSNATURAL RESOURCESNATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENTNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSOILPIGPIGSPOLICY INSTRUMENTSPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION CONTROLPOLLUTION REDUCTIONPOULTRYPRIVATE SECTORRENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMSSOLID WASTESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY10.1596/17108
