Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the Kyoto Protocol, Canada's First Ministers asked their Environment and Energy Ministers to develop a comprehensive national strategy to reduce Canadian greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Ministers created the National Climate Change Secretariat who established 16 Issue Tables to examine options for reducing Canada's GHG emissions. In their Options Reports, the Tables identified, analyzed and evaluated policy options for GHG reduction in their sectors. This document is the Options Report for the Agriculture and Agri-Food Table.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents options for reducing net agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as part of a national strategy for meeting Kyoto Protocol commitments. After an introduction on GHG emissions in the agricultural sector, section 2 outlines the systematic process used to identify GHG reduction measures that have potential. Section 3 describes 11 potential mitigation strategies selected for detailed study. Section 4 describes an economic modelling process and interprets results of an economic analysis of various strategies. Section 5 discusses the challenges and opportunities for the use of GHG mitigation policy measures in the agricultural sector. The final sections summarize the results of evaluation of the options and makes recommendations on implementation of mitigation measures.

This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand the impacts of support programs on global emissions, this paper considers the impacts of domestic subsidies, price distortions at the border, and investments in emission-reducing technologies on global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture. In a step towards a full evaluation of the impacts, it uses a counterfactual global model scenario showing how much emissions from agricultural production would change if agricultural support were abolished worldwide. The analysis indicates that, without subsidies paid directly to farmers, output of some emission-intensive activities and agricultural emissions would be smaller. Without agricultural trade protection, however, emissions would be higher. This is partly because protection reduces global demand more than it increases global agricultural supply, and partly because some countries that currently tax agriculture have high emission intensities. Policies that directly reduce emission intensities yield much larger reductions in emissions than those that reduce emission intensities by increasing overall productivity because overall productivity growth creates a rebound effect by reducing product prices and expanding output. A key challenge is designing policy reforms that effectively reduce emissions without jeopardizing other key goals such as improving nutrition and reducing poverty. While the scenario analysis in this paper does not propose any particular policy reform, it does provide an important building block towards a full understanding the impacts of repurposed agricultural support measures on mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation to climate change. That full analysis is being undertaken in subsequent work, which will also take account of land-use change and alternative forms of agricultural policy support to align objectives of food security, farmers’ income security, production efficiency and resilience, and environmental protection.
Download or read book The Emerging International Climate Change Regime written by Deborah Murphy and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture is a critical sector for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, especially in the short term. The sector is responsible for around 14 per cent of global emissions, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that the agriculture sector has the potential to contribute significantly to GHG emission reductions, with potential ranges from 5 to 20 per cent of total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 2030 (Smith et al., 2007). The agricultural sector offers relatively cost-effective options for significant emission reductions that can be undertaken quickly--essentially buying the time needed to undertake the required transformation to low-carbon energy systems and infrastructure.
Download or read book Tackling Climate Change Through Livestock written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2013 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greenhouse gas emissions by the livestock sector could be cut by as much as 30 percent through the wider use of existing best practices and technologies. FAO conducted a detailed analysis of GHG emissions at multiple stages of various livestock supply chains, including the production and transport of animal feed, on-farm energy use, emissions from animal digestion and manure decay, as well as the post-slaughter transport, refrigeration and packaging of animal products. This report represents the most comprehensive estimate made to-date of livestocks contribution to global warming as well as the sectors potential to help tackle the problem. This publication is aimed at professionals in food and agriculture as well as policy makers.
Download or read book Climate Change Mitigation and Agriculture written by Eva Wollenberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the state of agricultural climate change mitigation globally, with a focus on identifying the feasibility, opportunities and challenges for achieving mitigation among smallholder farmers. The purpose is ultimately to accelerate efforts towards mitigating land-based climate change. While much attention has been focused on forestry for its reputed cost-effectiveness, the agricultural sector contributes about ten to twelve per cent of emissions and has a large technical and economic potential for reducing greenhouse gases. The book does not dwell on the science of emissions reduction, as this is well covered elsewhere; rather, it focuses on the design and practical implementation of mitigation activities through changing farming systems. Climate Change Mitigation and Agriculture includes chapters about experiences in developed countries, such as Canada and Australia, where these efforts also have lessons for mitigation options for smallholders in poorer nations, as well as industrialising countries such as Brazil and China. A wide range of agroecological zones and of aspects or types of farming, including livestock, crops, fish farming, fertilizer use and agroforestry, as well as economics and finance, is included. The volume presents a synthesis of current knowledge and research activities on this emerging subject. Together the chapters capture an exciting period in the development of land-based climate change mitigation as attention is increasingly focused on agriculture's role in contributing to climate change.
