Professional Meetings
28th February 2011: | Royal Society discussion meeting on: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture
This two day discussion meeting focused on the issue of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture in relation to the Climate Change Act (2008) which commits the UK to 80% statutory greenhouse gas emissions reduction by 2050 across all sectors of the economy. Agriculture is responsible for around 7.4% of total UK emissions.
