Themeday - Agriculture and Greenhouse Gas Emissions

There is a considerable potential in the agricultural sector to act as a part of the solution to the climate change challenge instead of merely being a part of the problem. Fulfilling this goal necessitates a common platform in the form of a network, where the multiple interactions between biological processes and production systems and a changing climate can be integrated using an interdisciplinary approach.
