Greenhouse Gas Policy and Canadian Agriculture [PDF]

To meet its commitment to the Kyoto Protocol (KP), Canada must reduce its current annual GHG emissions (694 MT CO2 equivalent) by 240 MT CO2. Canada’s agricultural industries have the potential to generate a carbon sink of 10 MT CO2 (Government of Canada,

The Price Gap in Agriculture‐Based Greenhouse Gas Offset Markets

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Today, there is a global effort to reduce greenhouse gas net emissions (GHGNE). For economic well‐being, it is important to identify low‐cost means of net emission offsets. Agriculture and forestry have received considerable attention as a means of supplying emissions offsets, as they contribute nearly 20% of global emissions.

Environmental Total Factor Productivity and the Cost‐Effectiveness of GHG Emission Reduction: The Case of Crop Production in China

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT China's diversified agricultural policies have effectively improved both the yield and environmental performance of the crop sector. Quantifying productivity trends and their drivers is key to formulating strategies for high‐quality and low‐carbon crop development.

Misalignment in Carbon Credit Programmes: Insights From Producer Preferences for Cover Crop and No‐Till Contracts

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the factors influencing producer adoption of cover cropping and no‐till farming, two key carbon sequestration practices, within the context of voluntary carbon credit programmes (CCPs) in Kansas. Using a mixed‐methods survey that combines discrete choice experiments with farm‐level data from 370 producers, we estimate ...

Emission Reporting for Agriculture: Frameworks and Metrics Matter

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Frameworks and metrics that reliably describe agricultural emission sources and carbon sinks are critical to the formulation of cost‐effective mitigation investment. This study identifies and compares three distinct emission reporting frameworks across metrics of total emissions and emissions intensity.

Heterogeneous Spillover Effects: How FDI in Resources Extraction, Manufacturing, and Services Affect Sectoral Carbon Emissions in the MENA Region

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The MENA region faces a critical challenge: balancing economic growth spurred by foreign direct investment (FDI) with environmental sustainability. While FDI can bring technological advancements and capital, concerns exist about its potential to exacerbate environmental degradation, particularly carbon emissions.
