Assessing the economic and mitigation benefits of climate-smart agriculture and its implications for political economy: A case study in Southern Africa

Giacomo Branca et al.

Summary: The study shows that switching from conventional to climate-smart farming significantly increases economic returns in semi-dry areas compared to sub-humid ones. However, high upfront costs hinder technology adoption. Negative abatement costs for most climate-smart farming options indicate synergies between livelihood enhancement and mitigation.

Agriculture's Contribution to Climate Change and Role in Mitigation Is Distinct From Predominantly Fossil CO2-Emitting Sectors

John Lynch et al.

Summary: Agriculture plays a significant role in anthropogenic global warming through methane and nitrous oxide emissions. However, conventional reporting of greenhouse gas emissions using carbon dioxide equivalencies is ambiguous and may not accurately reflect the distinct contributions of different gases. A nuanced perspective on the impacts of different emissions is crucial for better understanding and communication of mitigation strategies.
