Farming for a better climate by improving nitrogen use efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions
Abstract
FARM-CLIM assesses N and GHG fluxes in Austrian agriculture and proposes measures for improvement. Those measures will undergo an economic assessment. The IPCC default emission factor for soil N2O emissions will be reviewed and improved including the development of regional concepts to implement mitigation measures. IPCC reporting will be improved and uncertainties be reduced. FARM-CLIM covers the topic in a multi- and interdisciplinary approach including nationally and internationally highly recognised experts from science, reporting and commercial farming. The inclusion of the stakeholders` views at a very early project state will contribute significantly to closing the science-policy gap in the field of climate friendly farming.
