Defra project AC0206 (2007) aims to review key scientific research reports on agriculture and climate change and other information about relevant agricultural practices which have already been adopted (in the UK and overseas) in order to identify good practice by farmers and land managers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and highlight the main gaps in knowledge that may require further research.

"Life cycle assessment of food waste management options", Sven Lundie and Gregory M. Peters, Journal of Cleaner Production, Volume 13, Issue 3 , February 2005 This Australian study made an environmental assessment of in-sink food waste processor (FWP) unit, home composting, landfilling food waste with municipal waste ("codisposal") and centralised composting of green (food and garden) waste.

The Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research's report, "Domestic Tradeable Quotas: A policy instrument for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from energy use" (Technical Report 39 by Starkey R and Anderson K. (2005)), evaluates the feasibility of DTQs and their appropriateness as an instrument of public policy.

The Tyndall Centre's report, "Decarbonising the UK", sets out a series of energy scenarios which map out a variety of different ways in which we might achieve the UK goals of a 60% CO2 reduction by 2050. The scenarios set out a varying mix of demand reduction and alternative/cleaner fuel supply options.

The RSA has published an interim report from its CarbonLimited project which finds that personal carbon trading could be up and running by 2013. CarbonLimited was established in 2006 as a 3-year programme to analyse the effectiveness, feasibility and public acceptability of the concept of personal carbon trading (PCT).
