Given the extent of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) initiatives at project, national, regional and global levels, there is increasing interest in tracking progress in implementing CSA at national level. CSA is also expected to contribute to higher-level goals (e.g., the Paris Agreement, Africa Un...

Measurement and reporting of climate-smart agriculture: technical guidance for a countrycentric process
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture now exceed emissions from land use, land use change and forestry, including deforestation, and are growing at a rate of about 1% per year (Tubiellio et al. 2015). The main livestock emission sources – enteric fermentation, manure management and manu...

Measurement, reporting and verification of greenhouse gas emissions from livestock: current practices and opportunities for improvement
Given the projected increase in the demand for animal-source foods in developing countries,
trends in livestock GHG emissions and other environmental impacts, there is an urgent need
to change livestock production. Despite its significant role in global GHG emissions, the
livestock sector also ha...

Measurement, reporting and verification of livestock GHG emissions by developing countries in the UNFCCC: current practices and opportunities for improvement
Reducing emissions by changing consumption of
foods with large greenhouse gas emissions could
have a major impact on climate change. Yet past
efforts to change diets through public policy have
had mixed results, suggesting that recent
estimates of technical mitigation potential likely
exceed feas...

Shifting food consumption to mitigate climate change is critical to fulfilling the Paris Agreement, but how?
Climate-smart agriculture aims to improve food security by increasing productivity and producer incomes, strengthening resilience to climate change, and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. For the livestock sector, improved genetics is often identified as a climate-smart option. While there ...

Is cross-breeding with indigenous sheep breeds an option for climate-smart agriculture?
There is increasing interest in mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the dairy sector in developing countries. However, there is little prior experience with measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of GHG emissions and emission reductions. A voluntary carbon market methodology,...
