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.

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.
