The decarbonization of agriculture refers to the process of reducing or eliminating carbon emissions associated with agricultural practices.

Agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, primarily through the release of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). These emissions come from various sources within the agricultural sector, including livestock, soil management, and energy use.

Decarbonizing agriculture is crucial for mitigating climate change and achieving sustainability in food production. Here are some key aspects of the decarbonization of agriculture: developing sustainable practices, such as precision farming and agroecology; improving livestock management, such as altering animal diets and proper handling and treatment of animal waste; reducing nitrous oxide emission through precision application of fertilizers; and carbon sequestration by planting cover crops and integrating trees into agricultural landscapes.
