Concerns exist regarding potential trade-offs between climate change mitigation in
agriculture and food security. Against this background, the Global Biosphere
Management Model (GLOBIOM) is applied to a range of scenarios of mitigation
of emissions from agriculture to assess the implications of c...

Global food efficiency of climate change mitigation in agriculture
Increasing agricultural production to meet the growing demand for food whilst reducing agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is the major challenge under the changing climate. To develop long-term policies that address these challenges, strategies are needed to identify high-yield low-emiss...

Identifying high-yield low-emission pathways for the cereal production in South Asia
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...
