In this brochure, we focus on economically feasible and scientifically sound ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It is important to us to offer a neutral perspective on the topic, independent of media sensationalism and economic interests. At the same time, this brochure provides farmers with concise information in a practical format.
The brochure provides relevant information for agricultural practice in the following areas:
- Agriculture/Forage
- Arable/grassland
- Grassland/Ruminants
- Feeding
- Manure management
- Energy and Operations Management
The brochure enables reflective action: every unit of greenhouse gases saved and not emitted contributes to climate protection – the information provided here shows, in a concise and easily understandable form, a range of possibilities for emission reduction on the agricultural operation.
