Circularity in integrated agricultural systems may be key to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions | The James Hutton Institute
Intensification and the separation of crops, livestock and forestry production systems in agriculture contributes greatly to climate change and biodiversity loss. A new 1.33 million European funded project, co-ordinated by researchers at the James Hutton Institute, will aim to find measures that can improve circularity in crop-forest-livestock integrated systems and mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. The project, Synergies in integrated systems: Improving resource use efficiency while mitigating GHG emissions through well-informed decisions about circularity (SENSE), will bring together 10 Institutions from 7 countries, 4 from Europe, and 3 from South America. The James Hutton Institute’s climate-positive research farm at Glensaugh will form one of the case study locations for the project.
