Read Resource Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of Food Commodities Read Resource Geographical variation in carbon dioxide fluxes from soils in agro-ecosystems and its implications for life-cycle assessment Koerber G R, Edwards-Jones G, Hill P W, Milà i Canals L, Nyeko P, York E H, Jones D L. (2009). Geographical variation in carbon dioxide fluxes from soils in agro-ecosystems and its implications for life-cycle assessment, Journal of Applied Ecology, 46, 306–314. Read Resource Is local food better? Read Resource Carbon Labelling and Low-income Country Exports: A Review of the Development Issues Read Resource Ruminant livestock GHG working paper Published in 2009 by the Centre for Rural Policy Research at Exeter University, this working paper by Hopkins A and Lobley M. A Scientific Review of the Impact of UK Ruminant Livestock on Greenhouse Gas Emissions, CRPR Research Report No. 27. Centre for Rural Policy Research, University of Exeter, UK. Read Resource Biomass: Carbon Sink or Carbon Sinner? In April 2009 the Environment Agency published this report, research for which was carried out for the Environment Agency by AEA Technology. Key points as follows: 1. GHG emissions from energy generated using biomass are generally, but not always, less than from fossil fuels. 2. Land use change can negate any emission savings. 3. Energy conversion efficiency is an important factor in reducing emissions 4. Emission reductions of several million tonnes of greenhouse gases per year could be achieved by following good practice Read Resource Sustainable animal production: The challenges and potential developments for professional farming Read VIEW MORE
