Increased value creation in food production through characterizing and mitigating emissions of greenhouse gases from agriculture in Norway

Food production results in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. On the other hand, agricultural soils also have a potential to sequester carbon, and thus mitigate CO2 emission. Optimizing food production while minimizing net GHG emissions, represents a signifi cant challenge for Norwegian agriculture....
