2 outline Agriculture as driver Global potentials Mitigation strategies Mitigation potential Conclusions
3 agriculture as a driver Greenhouse gas emissions: Carbon Dioxide is the most important GHG Other GHG (Methane, Nitrous Oxide) more powerful Still 77% of total GHG in CO 2 equivalent is due to CO 2 Agricultural land use contributes 32% of all GHG: The major largest components are: Land use change: 18.3% Nitrogen emissions from soils: 6% Methane from livestock: 5%
4 global potentials Agriculture mitigating climate change Globally 5 bill ha ( ) under agriculture i.e. managed by mankind (= 40% of total land) of this 1.4 bill ha are cropland Significant impact on climate change
5 global potentials Agriculture mitigating climate change Global pool of Soil Organic Carbon 1,500 Pg (1 Pg = 1 bill. metric tons = 1 Gt) Agriculture has released 456 Pg C from SOC which builds the potential for soil as C-sink Potential C-capturing from cropland: bill t (Pg)/year Total potential for increasing the terrestrial C pool is about 3 Pg/year = about the annual increase in global CO 2 concentration Additionally emission reductions possible
6 mitigation strategies Agricultural (crop) mitigation strategies: Sequestration: Maximize soil as carbon sink reduce soil carbon emissions maximise biomass production enhance soil carbon input Emission reduction: Rice methane Fertilizer nitrous oxide Fuel emissions Emissions from input manufacturing Manure handling Bio energy?
7 mitigation strategies Sequestration: Carbon Offset Consultation, West Lafayette, October 2008: CA base for carbon credit protocols CA for CC mitigation and adaptation CA technologies for Climate Change adaptation and mitigation available
8 The simultaneous combination of Continuous zero tillage Permanent soil cover Crop rotations has become known as Conservation Agriculture mitigation strategies
9 mitigation strategies Conservation Agriculture Conventiona al Agriculture low soil organic matter Soil Organic Matter = Drought Resistance Action of Soil Biota Structure/Porosity Biological Tillage High Soil Organic Matter CO 2 Mechanical Tillage
10 mitigation strategies Cumulative Carbon Dioxide Loss after 24 hours CER (g CO 2 m -2 ) SS MK RM NT L128 y = x R 2 = Cross Sectional Area (cm 2 ) MP Reicosky
11 mitigation strategies TILLAGE-INDUCED CO2 "FLUSH" AND CURRENT CROP RESIDUE 19 days after tillage TOTAL C LOST IN 19 DAYS (g C/m ) MP MP+DH2 185 g C/m 2from residue of previous wheat crop DH TILLAGE TYPE CP NT Reicosky
12 Nature s Interdependent Tri-Cycles: Water, Carbon, Nitrogen, Tillage disrupts the natural cycles! H 2 O C N mitigation strategies Tillage Layer Reicosky
13 CA and climate change: mitigation strategies No single practice safely qualifies for carbon credits (no-till, compost, organic) No-till a necessary, not sufficient condition for Carbon Sequestration in most climates Protocols for optimized systems to be established Attention to lifecycles and other GHG (compaction, irrigation)
14 mitigation strategies Emission reductions: Rice (CH 4 ) CA-rice: no-till/no puddling residue retention no permanent flooding evtl. permanent beds SRI agronomy for better root development
15 Emission reductions: N-Fertilizer Use of legumes in rotation Careful use of N fertilizer Placement of N fertilizer (urea) Irrigation (no flooding) Compaction: CTF mitigation strategies
16 Emission reductions: Fuel emissions: - 40 to 70% Emissions from input manufacturing: biological processes replacing functions of machinery: - 50% fertilizer: % pesticides: - 20% Manure handling: biogas aerobic composting application into cover crops/crop residues knifing into soil (small quantities) No burning avoidance of fire mitigation strategies
17 mitigation strategies Bio energy: Bio energy = low efficiency solar energy Carbon: either for bio energy or for carbon sequestration Carbon in soils has other beneficial effects beyond carbon sequestration Diversion of carbon towards bio energy reduces the speed of soil carbon build up Biochar: residues are a better C-source for soils
18 Further options: Integrated Crop-livestock-systems 12 years: soybean & italian ryegrass in succession mitigation strategies Soybean at harvest with Italian ryegrass naturally established Agroforestry: CA with trees (CAWT)
19 100 History and Adoption of CA mitigation potential Mill. ha US Soil Conservation Service conservation tillage First no-till in Faulkner (US) Fukuoka (Japan) commercial no-till/ /US the US dustbowl Siberia/USSR first no-till demonstration in Brazil Oldrieve/Zimbabwe Argentina, Paraguay; IITA no-till research adoption Brazil plantio direto na palha experiments in China, Indogangetic Plains New boost: Canada, Australia, Kazakhstan, Russia, China, Finland...; Africa 50 Dustbowl

22 mitigation potential Sequestration: Intensive grassland: 2-7 Mg. ha -1. a -1 New saturation: cropland years grassland years Actual growth in CA: 6 mill ha/a, increasing outlook: in 20 years global CA adoption rate at 50%?
23 Conclusions: conclusions Agricultural land management: big player in climate change Agriculture is not an option: need to reduce environmental footprint CA responds to many global problems and is expanding globally Agriculture with CA could become a major element for global environmental policies CA is more profitable payments not required to sustain it, but to accelerate adoption Carbon as new produce from farming BUT: no quick fix; complementary measures needed optimized protocols
24 Sustainability and Food for all: With CA agriculture can become part of the solution! Thank you for your attention! More information:
