This research paper examines the loss of applied nitrogen (LAN) as nitrous oxide (N2O) and nitric oxide (NO) from N-fertilized tropical soils in the Venezuela savanna region, finding that emissions are significantly higher than IPCC default values.

The 'State of EU Progress to Climate Neutrality' report by the European Climate Neutrality Observatory (ECNO) evaluates the European Union's trajectory toward its 2050 climate neutrality goal using over 100 indicators. While the report finds the EU is generally moving in the right direction, it concludes that the pace of change is insufficient across most sectors, with specific areas like finance and carbon dioxide removals moving in the wrong direction.

This briefing by Zero Carbon Analytics evaluates the role of biogas and biomethane in the energy transition, arguing that their use should be limited to hard-to-abate sectors. The document highlights that biogas only addresses a minority of agricultural emissions, faces significant economic challenges requiring subsidies, and carries risks related to fugitive emissions and safety.

An executive summary of a Climate Action Tracker analysis stating that farming practice changes alone are insufficient to limit global warming to 1.5°C, necessitating a holistic approach that includes dietary changes and food waste reduction.

This fact sheet from the World Resources Institute explains the sources, scale, and trends of global agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, while highlighting the role of new Greenhouse Gas Protocol guidance in helping companies measure and manage their climate footprint.

This discussion paper by the Center for International Environmental Law advocates for a rights-based, comprehensive approach to land-use planning within the UNFCCC's ADP process. It argues that land-sector carbon sequestration is temporary and should not be used to offset permanent fossil fuel emissions, while emphasizing the need to protect food security, biodiversity, and the land rights of indigenous peoples and local communities.
