Do organic systems generate higher or lower levels of greenhouse gas emissions? There are a great many studies, and a great many different conclusions. Some examples are as follows: Evaluation of conventional and organic agricultural production in relation to primary energy inputs and certain pollution gas emissions, summary of report commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Forestry (BML), Bonn, Murphy DPL, Roever M and Heinmeyer O., 2000. Read Resource Simplified life cycle assessment of Galician milk production Read Resource Report on Agriculture and Climate Change The NFU report Agriculture and climate change acknowledges that the climate is changing but urges further research on the likely impacts for UK agriculture. 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 VIEW MORE
