Recommendations on Climate Change Mitigation

Changing agricultural practices and ending food waste around the world are among recommendations made by scientists charged with looking at ways to mitigate global climate change.  "Agriculture globally contributes about 10 to 12 percent to greenhouse gas emissions," the author said.  "If you add in forestry it moves it up to around 25 percent.  Agriculture is significant but not the major contributor and has declined slightly, percentage-wise, since the last report in 2007, not so much because agriculture has changed that much but because the energy sector is contributing more."
