The amount of manure generated by livestock production can cause negative environmental impacts, if its storage, transport, or use are not controlled, due to the emission of polluting gases into the atmosphere and the accumulation of micro and macronutrients in soils and in surface water bodies. In this research, a review of the strategy that may be feasible and viable to implement to reduce the environmental impact generated by greenhouse gases is made, from manure, the methodology used was desk research and the inductive method, the research aimed to evaluate the greenhouse gas emissions caused in the production of compost produced by cattle manure. Through the review, it was concluded that the production of compost is a viable alternative for reducing the environmental impact generated by greenhouse gases (GHG) globally, which emit 44% methane (CH_4), 29% nitrous oxide (N_2 O) and 27% carbon dioxide (〖CO〗_2) to the atmosphere.
