Apart from methane emissions and deforestation, does livestock farming have any other effects on the climate?

I'm putting a presentation together for a local community, to teach them about the harmful effects of meat consumption on the climate. Although I know more about this than the average person, I'm far from an expert. Apart from methane emissions(cows) and deforestation, is there anything else I should focus on?
