Mitigation actions to reduce climate impacts from agriculture focus on minimizing nitrous oxide, methane, and carbon dioxide emissions.
This page is a summary only. Please refer to menu items under Mitigation for more details on the action items illustrated below:
Following are key areas to reduce greenhouse gas emissions:
First: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions to near zero in the very near future! Use science-based targets that meet goals, i.e., the Paris Agreement and efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C.
Second: Replace fossil fuel energy sources with clean energy sources. Reduce GHG emissions from soils and from livestock operations.
Third: Use of Negative Emission Technologies such as Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) where helpful.
Adopt clean renewable energy sources: solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, hydroelectric, wind, geothermal, tides, waves, biomass. And implement multiple energy conservation and efficiency initiatives. Finally adopt emerging battery storage technologies…
In soil carbon sequestration, carbon dioxide is drawn down from the atmosphere via photosynthesis. And the carbon component is sequestered, or stored, in soils.
Further, soil carbon sequestration has the potential to significantly offset annual greenhouse gas emissions. It also has the opportunity to provide income to farmers.
In addition to agriculture, there are also significant opportunities to manage and maintain carbon storage in wetlands, peatlands, and reforested lands.
Adaptation for climate and sustainable food resources requires effective adaptation plans to mitigate against various climate risks.
Foremost, plans need to mitigate impacts of extreme weather events.
Also, changing climates may require the use of varying management techniques.
Digital transformations enable sustainable food resources through digital platforms, cloud computing, and the Internet-of-Things (IoTs).
Data Analytics for Climate & Crop Resources Sustainability includes Big Data and Open Data to minimize impacts and maximize sustainable food resources.
For more information, please refer to Education.
Modelling tools advance sustainable food resources by simulating climate, crop, soil, and management scenarios to project superior outcomes.
