Hevea brasiliensis seeds: A novel sustainable feedstock for ethanol production
Vietnam Journal of Chemistry, EarlyView.Abstract The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is cultivated on a large scale mainly for the extraction of latex in Brazil and Southeast Asia, also generating large quantities of seeds. These seeds currently do not have large‐scale applications and may thus be considered as a residue.

Including Harvested Grain Biogenic CO2 to Address a Critical Flaw in Climate Accounting
Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The international climate accounting system excludes both the biogenic CO2 sequestered in harvested crops and the biogenic CO2 emissions that occur when grain is digested or burned as biofuel. Despite being described in the literature as a critical flaw in climate accounting all parties within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate

Understanding Farmer Behaviour for Successful Climate Change Mitigation in Voluntary Initiatives
Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Private and voluntary initiatives, such as voluntary carbon markets, can support public policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in agriculture. This study investigates the impact of behavioural factors (reluctance to change) and social dynamics (peer imitation) on the adoption of two mitigation practices on Swiss dairy and ...

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.

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Synthetic dairy products are promoted as an environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional dairy goods. This paper examines the potential economic, employment and land use impacts of large‐scale synthetic dairy production on Aotearoa New Zealand—the world's leading dairy exporter. Using a global, economy‐wide model, we simulate a case
