Climate-conscious agricultural policies represent a large opportunity for countries to reduce their emissions. The Agriculture Methodology supports the assessment of the impact of policies designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector.

It is relevant to all countries and regions, and includes comprehensive consideration of major agricultural emission sources and mitigation measures. 

The methodology covers the following policies and measures:
  • Livestock
  • Fertilizer management
  • Soil carbon pools
  • Rice cultivation
