The SoilC4C – SoilCarbon4Climate Conference, co-organised by the 4per1000 Initiative and Germany’s Federal Office for Agriculture and Food, will take place in Berlin, Germany, 11-13 September 2025. The conference will explore pathways and solutions for soil carbon in temperate regions. The call for abstracts have been extended until June 10. Pre-registration is open until mid-August. For more information and to submit an abstract, visit conference website HERE.

In advance of the Council Meeting in Dublin at the beginning of June, we are pleased to release our second Annual Highlights Report celebrating the GRA. This is available to download and share. Check it out by clicking HERE.

Livestock researchers from seven ASEAN countries and Uganda met in Phnom Penh last week to consolidate the best available information on measurement of livestock greenhouse gases (GHG).

The event, hosted by Cambodia’s RUA (Royal University of Agriculture) and facilitated by SEARCA (Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture), was the culmination of recent investment in livestock GHG measurement by New Zealand in many of these countries.

The Cambodian workshop distilled the experiences and expertise of participants, to be used as reference by current and future users. Outputs included national summaries of equipment available in their countries, best practice guides on use of these systems, and training videos on the key component and procedures.

Through its Climate Smart Agriculture Initiative, New Zealand has sought to strengthen national GHG inventories for livestock as well as pioneer GHG measurement and mitigation options in 6 ASEAN countries. This includes setting up new livestock methane measurement facilities.

A recording of the Flagship Webinar: “Nitrogen mineral fertilisers, updates on methodologies and relevant work for inventory improvement” webinar is now available to view HERE.

This webinar is aimed to researchers, students and the general public interested in the use of different methodologies to quantify nitrous oxide emissions and ammonia volatilization from agroecosystems, their advantages, and challenges for their implementation. We will also touch on how to use the information generated for national inventories improvement, and we will also provide an update on the development of the N flagship from the GRA.
