Although agriculture is an important source of greenhouse gas emissions, the sector remains out of scope for greenhouse gas (GHG) pricing policies. To align the future food system with the transition to net zero emissions, two key questions arise: To what extent can tax policies help achieving...

During the last 30 years, the Common Agricultural Policy has increased the importance given to improving the environmental and climate performance of the European agriculture, as confirmed by the Future CAP proposal. Furthermore, the Green Deal strategy outlined a comprehensive approach to...

The project 'Economic Assessment of GHG mitigation policy options for EU agriculture (EcAMPA)' is designed to assess some aspects of a potential inclusion of the agricultural sector into the EU 2030 climate policy framework. In the context of possible reductions of non-CO2 emissions from EU...

In order to contribute to the EU's ambitions to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, different technological and management options are being analysed. Within the agricultural sector, catch and cover crops (CCC) are considered a viable option to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. CCC are...

Livestock production is responsible for most of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from European agriculture. To achieve the climate targets in the European Union, reducing emissions from the food chain, and within that from livestock production, is imperative. Along with structural changes,...

This report looks at the key features of territorial Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) strategies, as they are developing throughout the EU, and examines whether and how the adoption of a Transformative Innovation (TI) approach could add value to these strategies and their implementation. The...

Agriculture plays a pivotal role in meeting global food demands and maintaining socio-economic stability. However, some agricultural practices may negatively contribute to environmental concerns such as greenhouse gas emissions, nutrient losses, and biodiversity decline, impacting climate...
