Since the influential Stern Review on the economics of climate change (Stern 2006), many have seen avoiding deforestation of tropical forests as arguably the fastest way and cheaper to mitigate climate change. The idea is that the richest countries - which were the largest emitters of greenhouse ...

Biofuels are receiving growing negative attention. Direct and/or indirect land-use changes that result from their cultivation can cause emissions due to carbon losses in soils and biomass and could negate any eventual greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction benefit. This paper evaluates the implications o...

Considering projected population trends, food requirements in East Africa will drastically increase in the coming decades (van Ittersum et al., 2016). One way to ensure supply will meet demand is by raising crop yields in the region. In East Africa, agricultural yields still have large potential ...

Greenhouse gas emissions from rice production have been identified as a key mitigation focus for Vietnam to meet its Nationally Determined Contributions committed to the Paris Agreement. Shifting to a production landscape that adopts Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD), which refer to the practice...

Perú está comprometido con la reducción de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) derivadas de la deforestación y la agricultura, y con un desarrollo agrícola bajo en emisiones. Para lograr esto, se deben enfrentar desafíos relacionados con la identificación de prácticas de manejo agr...

The climate-smart agriculture (CSA) concept reflects an ambition to improve the integration of agriculture development and climate responsiveness. It aims to achieve food security and broader development goals under a changing climate and increasing food demand. CSA initiatives sustainably increa...

Methane (CH4) emissions from livestock contribute significantly to climate change and diet plays a fundamental role in the emissions generated. Research in animal nutrition should aim at identifying ways to increase production efficiency with the least possible environmental impact and manipulati...


Gaviria Uribe, XiomaraBolívar Vergara, Diana MaríaChirinda, NgonidzasheArango, JacoboBarahona Rosales, Rolando[Enteric methane emissions of zebu steers fed with tropical forages of contrasting nutritional value]Enteric methane emissions of zebu steers fed with tropical forages of contrasting nutritional value

Nitrification is one of the key processes leading to water contamination and greenhouse gas emissions (N2O) in pasture systems. As vast areas of tropical pastures are nitrogen (N) limited, grasses from the Brachiaria genus have adapted to reduce N losses and increase N use efficiency by releasing...
