\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe agriculture and food sector (agri-food sector) is vulnerable to climate change and at the same time also a significant sources of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Reducing GHG emissions from the agri-food sector will be important in moving towards net-zero targets. There are various opportunities for the agri-food sector to reduce GHG emissions\, yet the sector faces many complex challenges and lags behind others on climate change commitments and actions. \n\n\n\nThis event will explore the state of policies already in place in the agri-food sector and look at the policy challenges specific to addressing climate action across food systems. The event will also explore potential policy solutions\, such as emission taxes\, as well as other supply and demand-side measures\, that could help to strike a balance between GHG abatement and broader societal objectives.

About 80% of this valuable resource is lost to the environment before reaching our plates. We refer to this loss as nitrogen waste. \n\n\n\nThe ambitious goal of halving nitrogen waste by 2030 requires important coordination of many actors: multidisciplinary scientists\, farmers\, industry\, policy-makers\, NGOs\, and consumers. \n\n\n\nThe XXI International N Workshop will contribute to this challenge by welcoming contributions dealing with different spatial scales (from the plot to global) and system scopes (crop\, livestock\, agroforestry\, forestry\, urban and agro-food systems). These communications will be discussed in five regular- and three special sessions\, together with eight interesting keynotes during five exciting days in October 2022 in Madrid\, Spain.

The main theme of this symposium is “Implementing the New Green Deal: The Path Towards Sustainable Agriculture“\, which refers mainly to European Green Deal having the opportunity and resources to achieve the primary objective of a sustainable Europe and planet by tackling the current major environmental\, climate\, and societal challenges facing by the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGlobally climate change is one of the most important issues facing the agricultural sectors and these\, in turn\, contribute significantly to climate change through enhanced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Other environmental concerns associated with agriculture include increased water\, air and soil pollution. Minimising potential impacts represents a big challenge for the agri-food sector\, given the need to significantly enhance food production. To meet the dual challenge of enhancing food production whilst minimising the environmental impact in line with the UN-SDGs\, cooperation with stakeholders from both the public and private sectors is required. This will also require significant steps in the development and adoption of technologies with a low carbon/GHG footprint throughout the lifecycle/supply chain. \n\n\n\nGiven that agriculture is also a major contributor to GHG emissions\, they could play a significant role in meeting GHG mitigation targets but this needs to be achieved in a sustainable way without compromising agricultural productivity. This is a global challenge as agriculture contributes significantly to the economy but is\, in turn\, a major contributor to national GHG emissions and environmental degradation includes water\, soil\, air and biodiversity. This symposium will provide a platform to discuss the scientific and technical aspects of the range of cross-cutting issues associated with the environmental impact of agricultural\, including public perception\, regulatory and socio-economic factors. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDeadline for submitting abstracts: \n\n\n\nOrals: 17 June 2022Posters and Flash Talks: 17 June 2022 (For inclusion in the proceedings and programme) URL:https://globalresearchalliance.org/event/iscraes2022/ LOCATION:Dublin\, Ireland END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20220822T130000 DTEND;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20220822T140000 DTSTAMP:20220801T220651Z CREATED:20220801T220649Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220801T220651Z UID:10000137-1661173200-1661176800@globalresearchalliance.org SUMMARY:Webinar: Progress towards low methane dairy sires (NZ) DESCRIPTION:Join the NZAGRC on 22 August 2022 for their next State of Science webinar on their research into options for mitigating agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith New Zealand sheep breeders now able to measure and rank their animals based on their methane emissions\, scientists are now investigating whether the same can be achieved for cattle. \n\n\n\nLorna McNaughton from Livestock Improvement Corporation (LIC) will provide an update on the progress in developing a breeding programme for low-emitting dairy cattle.

However\, estimates are only as good as the data that underpin them. National activity data collection and its management is a universal challenge for compilers from Annex I and non-Annex II countries alike. \n\n\n\nThe aim of this webinar is to increase awareness on overcoming a lack of good quality data\, and on setting up data management frameworks to support increasing emissions reporting from Tier 1 to Tier 2 levels. The session will bring together expert speakers whose work focuses on improving agriculture inventory activity data related issues. \n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Biographies \n\n\n\nAndreas Wilkes – ASEAN and Africa Inventory Capability Building Programme Lead\, NZAGRC \n\n\n\nAndreas is leading New Zealand’s Inventory Capability Building efforts in ASEAN and African countries and has extensive experience in livestock emission MRV and mitigation. Andreas was the lead author of the GRA FAO Livestock Activity Data Guidance which provides guidance on how to collect and analyze the activity data required for Tier 2 livestock GHG inventories. He will present some practical experiences from developing countries\, and reflections on the implications for continuous improvement and research. \n\n\n\nStephen Ogle – Associate Director\, Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory\, CSU | Professor\, Department of Ecosystem Science and Sustainability\, CSU \n\n\n\nStephen’s research focus is improving national GHG inventories\, better understanding socioeconomic drivers of land use and management decisions\, and predicting the likelihood of future GHG mitigation in agricultural lands. He has a keen interest in assisting governments in developing countries with improving their GHG inventories and has done extensive capacity-building work in over 20 countries\, assisting national compilers with improving GHG inventories in Asia\, Africa\, Central America and South America. Stephen has contributed as an instructor to numerous science and government inventory training workshops. He was a contributing lead author for the 2019 IPCC Refinement to the 2006 IPCC Guidelines of Volume 4\, AFOLU. Stephen led the development of the Agriculture and Land Use National GHG Inventory Software (ALU)\, a free downloadable tool for the estimation of national AFOLU inventories. Along with Dr. Richard Conant\, he established the Master of Greenhouse Gas Management and Accounting Programme at CSU. \n\n\n\nLuanne Stevens – Environmental consultant and GHGMI Fellow \n\n\n\nLuanne has worked in the AFOLU inventory and MRV space for more than 15 years and has been the lead compiler for South Africa’s AFOLU inventory since 2010. She supports developing countries to strengthen their capacity to compile inventories\, develop mitigation projections\, and develop NDCs and MRV systems. Luanne has been involved in capacity building projects across Africa (including Eswatini\, Uganda\, Tanzania\, Lesotho). She is currently supporting the ICAT projects in Eswatini and Uganda\, and was responsible for creating the capacity building modules for the ICAT Forestry and Agriculture Assessment Guides. In addition\, she is the project manager for the IICA-GCF CARICOM AgREADY project in the Caribbean where she has been involved in assessing the role of agriculture in NDCs across the Caribbean\, providing training to inventory compilers and data collectors\, and assisting in the development of agriculture inventory improvement plans. \n\n\n\nSekai Ngarize – Senior Agriculture\, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) and MRV Specialist \n\n\n\nSekai currently works as an international Climate and MRV consultant strengthening institutional capacity in developing countries for compliance with the Transparency Reporting Requirements of the Paris Agreement.
