7.1
Greenhouse Gas Reduction
How can GHG emissions be measured
on a smallholder farm?
7.2
Greenhouse Gas Reduction
What technologies exist to reduce
GHG emissions from farms?
• Measuring land use change emissions
• On farm monitoring of emissions
• Soil emissions
(organic/carbon)
• Application of fertilizers/pesticides
– Organic fertilizers from post-harvesting
– IPM/biotechnology to maximize yields
with less fertilizer
• Post-harvest management
– Burning
– Mulching of waste material fertilizer
– Bio-energy
• Processing
– Circular economy of waste into energy
– Baggage
– Organic fertilizer back to farmers
(manure-beef)
– Crop diversification
– Agroforestry
– Reforestation
– Shack trees (tea, coffee, cocoa)
– Selection of trees
• Crop knowledge (rice v. vegetables)
• Sensors (land use changes)
• Drones (land use changes)
• Tracking water log -> burning
[peat management]
• On farm management systems
– App
– Farmer field schools
– Model farms
• Crop quality
• Crop protection
• Biotechnology -> relevance to SHFs/capacity
building
• Testing
• Relationship between processing and SHFs
– Organic fertilizer
– Baggage
– Reduce post-harvest wastes -> burning
• Farmer awareness
• Education
• Application of farm/productivity/inputs
