T-AGG Reports

The Technical Working Group on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (T-AGG) began working in November 2009 to assemble the scientific and analytical foundation to support the implementation of high-quality agricultural GHG mitigation activities. In our first phase we are focused on production agricultural and grazing lands in the United States. Because we encourage an open and collaborative process, we have been releasing early drafts of our reports to allow opportunities for interested readers to comment. More information on the working group, its management, and its advisory groups, as well as a link to our email list, are available on this website.

T-AGG Literature Review cover
Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Potential of Agricultural Land Management in the United States: A Synthesis of the Literature

September 2010 - by Alison J. Eagle, Lucy R. Henry, Lydia P. Olander, Karen Haugen-Kozyra, Neville Millar, and G. Philip Robertson

This document is a companion report to the upcoming T-AGG reports. It is an extensive scientific literature review providing a side-by-side comparison of the biophysical greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation potential of more than 40 agricultural land management activities in the United States.

 

U.S. Overview cover
Assessing Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Opportunities and Implementation Strategies for Agricultural Land Management in the United States (DRAFT)

2010 - by Lydia P. Olander, Alison J. Eagle, Justin S. Baker, Karen Haugen-Kozyra, Lucy R. Henry, Brian C. Murray, and Robert B. Jackson

This assessment provides information on the potential and feasibility of GHG mitigation from agricultural land management activities in the United States. We hope it will provide a roadmap for the inclusion of agricultural practices in government programs or market-based accounting protocols.
