Crynodeb

Reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are required from agriculture, in
common with all other sectors, in order to meet the reduction targets set by the UK Climate Change Act 2008, as detailed in the Low Carbon Transition (LCT) Plan recently published by the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change. The current methodology for estimating nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions
from UK agriculture estimates that emissions from soils account for more than 50% of total GHG emissions from agriculture (expressed as CO2 equivalents)
, with fertiliser N applications, grazing returns (dung and urine) and manure applications to land being the predominant sources (c. 80% of total N2O emissions from UK agriculture)
