This report was commissioned to identify greenhouse gas mitigation options in the agricultural sector. It gives a snapshot of the global mitigation potential in the year 2030, compared to a hypothetical baseline in which no additional mitigation from agriculture is attempted, beyond current adoption and intensification trends. The report recommendations focus on GHG mitigation options while also supporting the food security and climate resiliency needs. It’s major conclusions include that agriculture contributes substantially to global climate change and that more resources need to be brought to bear on the intersection of agriculture and climate change, particularly as there are multiple, complex challenges in addressing this nexus.
