The intense management of the crops, that characterizes current agricultural cropping systems, has resulted in increased concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O).
In this study, we used the field-scale agricultural assessment m...

Results on life cycle assessments to determine impacts of agronomic management choices in the Cauca and Honduras CSV
In Colombia, livestock growth appears to be not only inevitable but also desirable for the economy, jobs, and nutrition (FCRN, 2017), grazing systems are now being re-designed to conciliate production with environmental management and improve overall
efficiency (Carvalho, 2013). Intensification o...

As part of the Learning Platform 2 on participatory evaluation of CSA practices and portfolios in Climate-Smart Villages, CCAFS Flagship 2 developed a multilevel monitoring plan. Designed to support global evidence building of viable climate smart agricultural practices and technologies, this pla...
La producción ganadera se basa principalmente en el uso de sistemas extensivos de pastoreo, el cual es un sistema ineficiente que genera niveles bajos de rentabilidad y por ende altas emisiones por unidad de producto. La ganadería de carne a nivel mundial, es el Sistema de producción que mayore...

Presentation by Ngonidzashe Chirinda, CIAT, at the CLIFF-GRADS workshop on 6-7 October 2019 in Bali.
The two-day workshop was organized by the CCAFS Low Emissions Development Flagship and the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA).
This newsletter contains articles written by the Network coordinators, general Alliance updates, and training and research opportunities of interest. Contributions are welcome, so if you have any opportunities or information to distribute to the wider GRA and Inventories and NDC network, please c...
In Colombia, cattle production is responsible for 31% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the agricultural sector. Dairy farms account for 15% of the Colombian cattle herd. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of GHG emissions from these farms are not common, and when performed, are based on a small nu...

Measurements of nutrient stocks and greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes are typically collected at very local scales (<1 to 30 m2) and then extrapolated to estimate impacts at larger spatial extents (farms, landscapes, or even countries). Translating point measurements to higher levels of aggregation is ...
