Six new global GRA Flagship Projects!
GRA Flagship Projects develop new knowledge to better understand agricultural greenhouse gases, have global relevance and applicability and generate high scientific impact. The GRA works collaboratively, bringing together researchers from all over the world, to deliver these projects.
Six new global Flagship Projects were approved earlier this year at the 2022 GRA Council Meeting. These key priority projects have been identified as uniquely suited to the research expertise and global membership of the GRA.
Further information about the projects and how to get involved can be found HERE and via the links below.
Economics of cattle GHG mitigation (EMiFa)
Flagship Goal: To identify the most cost-effective options for farm level GHG mitigation strategies in different global production systems and provide evidence-based policy recommendations.
Ensuring long-term mitigation and adaptation co-benefits
Flagship Goal: To develop and apply new protocol-based methods for providing national decision-makers with evidence-based knowledge to ensure agricultural mitigation strategies have lasting impact.
Feed additives to reduce methane
Flagship Goal: To accelerate the development and use of feed additives to reduce global enteric methane emissions from livestock.
Mining rumen data to reduce methane
Flagship Goal: To generate new knowledge on the rumen microbiome which will enable novel interventions to reduce methane emissions from livestock
Reducing N2O emissions and improving accounting
Flagship Goal: To encourage global efforts to reduce GHG emissions from nitrogenous fertiliser by enabling its usage to be more accurately reflected in national level GHG accounting.
Satellite monitoring to improve livestock management
Flagship Goal: To develop globally applicable tools which improve management of grassland resources and support local initiatives to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
