The Role of Agriculture in Global GHG Mitigation

Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
Agriculture is a major emitter of greenhouse gases. Its potential to contribute to limiting global warming to less than 2C by the end of the century is substantial by reducing direct emissions in crop and livestock production, by reducing indirect emissions associated with changes in land use, and by increasing carbon sequestration.

The Next Frontier of Carbon Accounting: A unified approach for unlocking systemic change

There is no pathway to keep global warming to less than 1.5°C without abating emissions in industrial supply chains. This will require adequate data, and the best way to provide this is to standardize carbon accounting across the variety of protocols, platforms, and standards that exist today.
