Greenhouse gas emissions

In the report "Landbruk og klimaendringer" from february 2016, two main challenges are pointed out: How to couteract climate change through reduction of emissions and how to increase uptake and storage of carbon. In this part of the guide to environmental measures in agriculture, information on GHG emissions from agriculture and possible measures are presented.

In february 2016 a working group submitted the report "Landbruk og klimaendringer".The report describes two main strategies to reduce the GHG emissions from the agricultural industry:  1) Influence the composition of the production through an altered consumption and 2) Reduce emissions by measures which give the same production volume, but with lower emissions. It is also important to implement measures which can increase the uptake and storage of carbon in forest.
