There are ways to reduce emissions without sacrificing yield. A new study shows how, and looks at a technique billed as ‘climate-friendly’ that makes emissions worse.

A avaliação mais abrangente já feita de um poderoso gás de efeito estufa mostra quais países estão impulsionando o aumento e quais estão conseguindo reduzir as emissões.
La evaluación más completa hasta la fecha de un potente gas de efecto invernadero muestra qué países están impulsando su aumento y cuáles están reduciendo con éxito las emisiones.
The most comprehensive assessment yet of a powerful greenhouse gas shows which countries are driving the increase, and which ones are successfully cutting emissions.
Agriculture is the dominant cause for the increasing N₂O concentrations. Emissions must be reduced if we hope to stabilise Earth’s climate.
Measurements and modelling have found nitrous oxide emissions, a greenhouse gas 265 times more potent than carbon dioxide, are significantly higher than previously reported.
Fossil fuel emissions are slowing, but another major climate problem is becoming clear: food production.
