Effects of Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Emission Mitigation Policies: The Role of International Trade
Schneider, Uwe A.; Lee, Heng-Chi; McCarl, Bruce A.; … - 2001
The Kyoto Protocol represents the first international agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Proposed mitigation efforts may involve the agricultural sector through such options as planting trees, crop and livestock management changes, and biofuels production. The combined use of these...

Modelling the supply of ecosystem services from agriculture: a minimum-data approach
Antle, John M.; Valdivia, Roberto O. - 2006
We argue that to support agriculture–environmental policy decision making, stakeholdersneed ‘quantitative back-of-the-envelope’ analysis that is timely and sufficientlyaccurate to make informed decisions. We apply this concept to the analysis of the supplyof ecosystem services from...

Assessing the economic impact of an emissions trading scheme on agroforestry in Australia’s northern grazing systems
Donaghy, Peter; Rolfe, John; Gowen, Rebecca; Bray, Steven; … - 2010
Although agriculture generates a significant portion of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions, it also has the potential to sequester large quantities of emissions through changed land use management such as agroforestry. Whilst there is an extensive amount of agroforestry literature, little...
