Life Cycle Analyses and Greenhouse Gases with Dr. Hoyoung Kwon

<p>“Greenhouse gas mitigation strategies and opportunities for agriculture” with Dr. Hoyoung Kwon</p> <p>Agriculture and food systems can be strong contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and, in turn, climate change. However, in the midst of this reality, there are also abundant opportunities to improve our systems, reduce emissions, and move towards a more sustainable future…so long as we can identify those opportunities first. This episode, Hoyoung discusses his work studying agricultural life-cycle analyses to better identify the major inputs and outputs in ag, understand how these contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, and develop ways to improve them.</p> <p>Tune in to learn:</p> <ul> <li>What a life cycle analysis does</li> <li>What data can be used to create life cycle analyses</li> <li>What key improvements we can make to mitigate food system related GHG emissions</li> <li>What resources are available to help farmers implement these techniques</li> </ul> <p>If you would like more information about this topic, this episode’s paper is available here: <a href= "https://doi.org/10.1002/agj2.20844">https://doi.org/10.1002/agj2.20844</a></p> <p>This paper is always freely available.</p> <p>Contact us at <a href= "mailto:podcast@sciencesocieties.org">podcast@sciencesocieties.org</a> or on Twitter @FieldLabEarth if you have comments, questions, or suggestions for show topics, and if you want more content like this don’t forget to subscribe.
