Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture comprise 10-12% of anthropocentric global emissions; and 76% of the agricultural emissions are generated in the developing world. Landscape GHG accounting is an effective way to efficiently develop baseline emissions and appropriate mitigation appro...

Estimating global warming potential for agricultural landscapes with minimal field data and cost
KEY FINDINGS
Cattle producers joined sustainability initiatives primarily to increase production, reduce production costs, learn new practices and access innovations, and because of their interest in sustainability.
Farmers who shifted to sustainable intensification practices increased their prod...
POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
Build on market development lessons from the coffee sector to enhance sustainability, quality, traceability, and branding in the cattle sector.
Expand sustainability initiatives’ capacity to deliver market access, technical assistance, and finance services to more cattle fa...

Transitioning to more sustainable, low-emissions agriculture in Brazil
Carbon market projects have focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, often
at the expense of achieving sustainable development goals. A central pillar in sustainable
development is equity, yet most projects pay little attention to equity implications for
underrepresented farmers, especially ...

Demand for tools to rapidly assess greenhouse gas impacts from policy and technological change in the agricultural sector has catalyzed the development of ‘GHG calculators’— simple accounting approaches that use a mix of emission factors and empirical models to calculate GHG emissions with minima...
