Cool farming: Climate impacts of agriculture and mitigation potential

January 07, 2008

Agriculture is one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases. Greenpeace’s report, "Cool Farming," details the destructive practices resulting from industrial agriculture and presents workable solutions to help reduce its contribution to climate change. These practical changes will benefit the environment as well as farmers and consumers throughout the world.

This report details for the first time all direct and indirect contribution agriculture has on climate change. It was written by Professor Pete Smith, a lead author on the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on climate change, and his research team at the University of Aberdeen.
