Agricultural productivity and greenhouse gas emissions: trade-offs or synergies between mitigation and food security?

Agricultural productivity and greenhouse gas emissions: trade-offs or synergies between mitigation and food security?

In this letter, we investigate the effects of crop yield and livestock feed efficiency scenarios on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture and land use change in developing countries. We analyze mitigation associated with different productivity pathways using the global partial equilibrium...
