Yet, despite these gaps in our knowledge, there seems to be a widespread presumption that governments must intervene to ensure greenhousegasemissions are reduced.
Considerable reductions of greenhousegasemissions from the agricultural sector can be accomplished, primarily from offsets by bio-fuel production on land currently under cultivation.
