The global food system is responsible for between 20-30% of greenhouse gas emissions, most of which are generated at the production stage. Take rice, for example, a food staple that is eaten regularly by over half the world’s population.
Conventional rice production generates emissions equivalent to the entire global aviation industry. So how can we produce rice in a way that uses fewer resources and regenerates nature? A growing number of farmers around the world are changing the way they produce rice, by adopting an agroecological approach called the System of Rice Intensification (SRI).
This method relies on a small group of simple interventions that together significantly reduces water use, methane production, and the use of chemicals, while providing better yields and reducing labour for rice farmers.
Multinational companies who support this type of agriculture through procurement and product design can address their scope 3 emissions and build resilience in their supplier communities.
According to Project Drawdown, SRI currently accounts for 4% of rice production. If this was increased to 25%, the emissions reduction would be equivalent to that which is currently generated by the whole of India.

Listen to Gry Johanne Åmodt present Statkraft’s low emission scenario, explaining how renewables can cut most of global greenhouse gas emissions in the coming years. Gry Johanne Åmodt is heading the Global Drivers unit in Statkraft, Europe’s largest renewable energy producer. Her job is to analyze and monitor the forces driving the renewable energy markets. Gry has been working at Statkraft since 2004 and has a Master’s degree in Industrial Economics from Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
What I learned from watching documentary “Climates Solutions 101”. What I do to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at home. How to live eco friendly and sustainably.
I truly believe that we can save money the same time saving the planet. The over consuming culture today is really out of control, and we all need to be more mindful and cautious when it comes to buying and returning.

Welsh farming practises are amongst some of the most sustainable and efficient in the world relying on abundant grass and rainfall and non-intensive methods. There is however more room to ‘get greener’ to reach the #NetZero target by 2050.
Here our Red Meat Technical Officer, Dr Non Williams explains how introducing certain measures into your farms practises can mitigate the GHG’s produced. Additional benefits include improved efficiency of livestock production resulting in increased profitability.

Scientists trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have successfully toilet trained cows. Ammonia from the animals’ urine breaks down into nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas, when it mixes with soil. But researchers find that can be prevented if cows use a designated toilet where their urine is collected and treated. They have successfully taught 11 cows to use the “MooLoo”.

Hear from Ted Borer, Energy Plant Director about how Princeton will achieve its net zero greenhouse gas emissions goal.
This month, we spotlight Princeton’s new net zero greenhouse gas reduction target. Starting now with scalable early action, we are setting the stage to become a fossil-fuel free campus by 2046. This target includes both direct emissions from on-site energy production and fleet fuel use, and indirect emissions from purchased electricity. Additional indirect emissions from commuting, procurement and other activities are being studied to assess actionable reductions.
Our actions toward net zero emissions rely on both known and unknown strategies. Today’s actions range from encouraging behavioral changes and the installation of new renewable energy infrastructure on campus, to rigorous investigation of new renewable electricity generated within our region.
