Description

Description The Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases is a Research Alliance based on voluntary, collaborative efforts of over 61 member countries. The Alliance is aimed at research, development and extension of technologies and practices that will help to produce more food without increasing GHG emissions. The Alliance supports three parallel research groups (croplands, livestock and paddy rice) and a cross-cutting research group (integrative).
Objectives To be the leading global organisation coordinating and advancing scientific research aimed at reducing the intensity of greenhouse gases from agriculture, increasing carbon sequestration in agricultural systems, and improving the resilience and adaptive capacity of agriculture to climate change.
Activities The GRA provides a framework for increasing research investment through voluntary action in member countries and is a credible and authoritative platform for scientific information, knowledge and tools on greenhouse gas research in agriculture to inform farmers and agricultural industries how to measure and reduce their emissions intensity for multiple benefit, and to inform governments how to deliver real emissions reductions to meet national commitments under the Paris Agreement.
One or two success stories achieved Recent examples of GRA achievements.
