A Pathway to Carbon Neutral Agriculture in Denmark

Report, 2021

This report develops a possible strategy for Danish agriculture to achieve “carbon neutrality” by 2050, a goal adopted by its major agricultural organizations. The term carbon neutral, as used in this report, applies to all agricultural greenhouse gas emissions, including methane and nitrous oxide. We identify a pathway of possible cost-efficient measures to reduce by 80 percent the emissions per output of food (the emission intensity) of agricultural production processes within Denmark (all emissions attributable to agriculture other than lost carbon from land use).
