Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture in Africa This section provides information on GHG emissions in Africa. Subsection 3.1 presents a brief description of agricultural lands in Africa according to total, arable and non-arable lands. Subsection 3.2 discusses total agricultural emissions in Africa, ...
Agriculture is a significant contributor to climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions from crop and livestock activities contribute some 5 billion metric tonnes of CO2eq to the atmosphere each year. Land use and land use change activities connected to agriculture release a similar amount annually, for...
Future winters with less snow can thus be expected to accelerate NO emissions from agriculture, creating the potential for a positive climate change feedback.Ruan, LeileiDissertations & Theses - GradworksRuan L. 2014. Impacts of biofuel crops on greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural ecosystems. ...
Agriculture in a developed country such as Ireland uses intensive tillage systems, high energy and large fertilizer applications, resulting in fossil-fuel based emissions, reductions in soil carbon, and emissions of nitrous oxides. In addition, animal herds emit high methane levels. Accompanying this ...
According to the Synthesis Report (SYR) of the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5)1, agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU) contributed around 25% of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally in 2010. In particular, agricultural activities were the key sources for em...
Does certified organic farming reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural production? Agric. Human Values 52, 235-263.McGee, J. A. (2015). Does certified organic farming reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural production? Agriculture and Human Values, 32(2), 255-263. doi.org/...
The key to helping curb greenhouse gas emissions from the agriculture industry may be hidden just beneath the surface. While in the past century farming has transformed to be faster and on a larger scale, the newfound efficiency came at a cost to the environment. Farmers extracted more ...
Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Agriculture and Animal Operations: Influencing Factors, Measurement Limitations, and Potential Mitigation Strategies Gas emissions from anthropogenic sources significantly contribute to degradation of environmental quality, adversely impact human health, and are potential...

According to a recent report commissioned by theEuropean Parliament,implementing carbon farming practices in the European Union’s member states could reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture by up to 30% by 2030. The ongoing reforms to theEU’s Common Agricultur...
