We had an interesting and fruitful session at the XVIII European Association of Agricultural Economists (EAAE) Congress in Bonn last week, where we discussed farm-level greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting approaches, their potential for policymaking, and carbon pricing. One main takeaway we bring with us from this session and the subsequent discussion is that there is a high variety in approaches and paths taken to account for farm-level GHG emissions in different countries, but at the same time, a large potential and need to learn from each other in terms of how to construct sound and robust farm-level GHG accounting approaches.
Thank you to our panel Victoria Koch from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Darran Austin (New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries), Alexander Gocht (Thünen Institute), Jakob Vesterlund Olsen (University of Copenhagen), Stephane De Cara (National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment - INRAE). And thank you to all who participated in the lively discussion.
In the AgriDENZ project, we are working on providing a better understanding of farm-level GHG accounting approaches across countries through our cooperation between New Zealand and Germany. Next up on the topic of farm-level GHG accounting, we are hosting a webinar in December this year.
