Development towards low carbon and sustainable agriculture in Finland is possible with moderate changes in land use and diets

Heikki Lehtonen et al.

Summary: Food security, sustainability, and climate targets present challenges for agriculture and food sectors in many countries. Finland aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2035 and reducing agricultural greenhouse gas emissions is crucial. This paper explores how Finland can significantly decrease emissions while addressing other sustainability concerns. Results suggest that moderate changes in diets and land use can reduce emissions by over 40% by 2050 with support from productivity growth and policy changes.

How can diverse national food and land-use priorities be reconciled with global sustainability targets? Lessons from the FABLE initiative

Aline Mosnier et al.

Summary: There is an urgent need to transition national food and land-use systems towards global sustainability targets. A collaborative approach developed with the FABLE consortium is presented, which includes global targets, country-driven multi-objective pathways, and iterative refinement informed by national and international impacts. This approach strengthens policy coherence and identifies the need for greater national and international ambition to achieve global goals.

Pathway to achieve a sustainable food and land-use transition in India

Chandan Kumar Jha et al.

Summary: India has committed to reducing the emissions intensity of GDP by 33-35% from the 2005 level by 2030, which requires a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the food and land-use sector. This study constructs three potential pathways and uses the FABLE Calculator to project the outcomes, highlighting the importance of healthy diets, improved crop and livestock productivity, and net-zero deforestation in achieving India's mid-century emission targets from the agriculture sector.

Projecting the Impact of Socioeconomic and Policy Factors on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Carbon Sequestration in US Forestry and Agriculture

Christopher M. Wade et al.

Summary: Understanding the potential for greenhouse gas mitigation in the U.S. agriculture and forestry sectors is crucial for limiting global temperature rise. This research uses a model to project mitigation potential under different carbon price scenarios and shows that carbon sequestration in forests plays a significant role in reducing emissions. Additionally, the study finds that forest carbon increase is mainly driven by increased demand for forest products, with mitigation incentives playing a smaller role.

Land-based climate change mitigation potentials within the agenda for sustainable development

Stefan Frank et al.

Summary: The article assesses the implications of achieving selected key SDG indicators on land-based climate change mitigation potential, highlighting the impact of protecting highly biodiverse ecosystems on biomass potentials and the synergies with greenhouse gas abatement achieved through SDGs. The study suggests that achieving SDGs could help realize up to 25% of the expected greenhouse gas abatement from land use, necessary to stay on track with the 1.5 degrees C target until 2050, without additional mitigation policies. Future land use mitigation policies should consider and take advantage of these synergies across SDGs.

Paying the price for environmentally sustainable and healthy EU diets

Catharina Latka et al.

Summary: Consumer-side interventions using taxes and subsidies are effective in promoting healthier and more environmentally sustainable diets. High tax levels are required to achieve dietary recommendations and policy intervention is needed to address divergence from nutrition guidelines. A coherent policy package is recommended to simultaneously approach nutrition and sustainability objectives.

China's future food demand and its implications for trade and environment

Hao Zhao et al.

Summary: Meeting China's growing demand for food, especially for livestock products, will have huge environmental impacts domestically and globally. This study finds large increases in land, water, fertilizer and greenhouse gas emissions that vary based on openness of trade.

Agricultural impacts of sustainable water use in the United States

Neal T. Graham et al.

Summary: The study shows that governance measures such as restrictions on groundwater pumping and adjustments to sectoral water pricing can have a significant impact on agricultural production in the U.S. The Southwest region may suffer losses, but these are partially balanced by production increases in river basins on the east coast. Additional investments will be needed for future sustainable water governance measures to help farmers maximize production while minimizing water withdrawals.

Short- and long-term warming effects of methane may affect the cost-effectiveness of mitigation policies and benefits of low-meat diets

Ignacio Perez-Dominguez et al.

Summary: The short atmospheric lifespan of methane has significant implications for the design of global climate change mitigation policies in agriculture. The choice of metrics for methane's warming potential is crucial in determining optimal mitigation options. Promoting low-meat diets can be more effective in reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared to carbon pricing.
