Greenhouse gases in agriculture: what are they and what can we do about them?

Carbon markets raise many questions and arouse a bit of mistrust. However, some of them contribute to a sustainable reduction in greenhouse gases while encouraging collaboration: these are the integrated markets.

The Dedicated Dairy Farms program has just reached a major milestone: its methodology and procedures have been validated by the independent body SustainCERT. This confirms that the programs’ design uses a methodology that can deliver the expected greenhouse gas reductions.

To cool the atmosphere quickly, we have a tool that is underused, powerful, and cost-effective: reducing methane emissions from agriculture.

Agriculture is a well-known victim of climate change. What’s less well known is that it also possesses all the tools needed to tackle this crisis.

This standard may seem far removed from everyday life on the farm, but it directly affects farmers because it sets out how large food companies must work with their agricultural suppliers to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

A resilient farm recovers more easily from drought, excess water, or a bad season. This helps support the entire agri-food industry and, ultimately, ensures food security for populations.
