As the world seeks solutions for facing the reality of changing climates, the importance of mitigating the effects of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions becomes increasingly significant, especially in the agriculture sector which both emits and sequesters GHGs. Agriculture causes approximately one-third of global GHGs when direct energy use, emissions from livestock, the production of fertilizers, pesticides, machinery and equipment as well as soil degradation and land-use change for feed production are taken into account.
