Food loss and waste (FLW) reduce food available for consumption and increase the environmental burden of production. Reducing FLW increases agricultural and value-chain productivity and may reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with feeding the global population. Although studies of interven...

Agricultural development addresses food loss and waste while reducing greenhouse gas emissions
Accelerated soil-nitrifier activity and rapid nitrification are the cause of declining nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) and enhanced nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from farming. Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) is the ability of certain plant roots to suppress soil-nitrifier activity through...

Genetic mitigation strategies to tackle agricultural GHG emissions: The case for biological nitrification inhibition technology
This article analyses the greenhouse gas (GHG) impact potential of improved management practices
and technologies for smallholder agriculture promoted under a global food security development
program. Under ‘business-as-usual’ development, global studies on the future of agriculture to 2050

Analyzing the greenhouse gas impact potential of smallholder development actions across a global food security program
Reducing emissions of agricultural greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as methane and nitrous oxide, and sequestering carbon in the soil or in living biomass can help reduce the impact of agriculture on climate change while improving productivity and reducing resource use. There is an increasing demand...

Synthesis and Review: Advancing Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Quantification
Better information on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and mitigation potential in the agricultural sector is necessary to manage these emissions and identify responses that are consistent with the food security and economic development priorities of countries. Critical activity data (what crops or...

How to measure, report and verify soil carbon change to realise the potential of soil carbon sequestration for atmospheric greenhouse gas removal
Increasing weather risks threaten agricultural production systems and food security across the world. Maintaining agricultural growth while minimizing climate shocks is crucial to building a resilient food production system and meeting developmental goals in vulnerable countries. Experts have pro...

The climate-smart village approach: framework of an integrative strategy for scaling up adaptation options in agriculture
To keep global warming possibly below 1.5 ᵒC and mitigate adverse effects of climate change, agriculture, like all other sectors, will have to contribute to efforts in achieving net negative emissions by the end of the century. Cost-efficient distribution of mitigation across regions and economic...
