It recommends the following actions as a means by which the farming sector can help combat climate change: More emphasis on supporting UK food production as a means of promoting self sufficiency More support for biofuels production and for the use of biomass in local Combined Heat and Power Plants Read Resource New Zealand report For an antipodean perspective, see also the New Zealand report: Potential Management Practices And Technologies To Reduce Nitrous Oxide, Methane And Carbon Dioxide Emissions From New Zealand Agriculture, prepared for Ministry of Agriculture & Forestry, September 2001. Read Resource Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture: socio-economic costs and impacts A DEFRA commissioned literature review sought to identify farm-level changes that could reduce CO2 emissions from agriculture that would be technically feasible, cost effective and acceptable to consumers by 2010. Socio-economic costs and impacts: Six farm types were modelled: arable combinable cropping, arable root cropping, pigs and poultry, low yielding dairy and beef, high yielding dairy and beef, upland sheep and beef. The identified mitigation measures were: a.) reducing losses from grassland soils by: Read Resource Methodological issues involved in quantifying emissions from agricultural production Read Resource Life cycle assessment of milk production‚ a comparison of conventional and organic farming This Swedish study by Christel Cederberg and Berit Mattsson, Department of Applied Environmental Sciences, Göteborg University, Sweden, (Journal of Cleaner Production 8 (2000) 49–60) compared organic and conventional dairy production. It concluded that the organic sysem generated slightly fewer GHG emissions than the conventional.
