We examine the spatially variable tradeoffs between climate change mitigation and crop yields under regenerative agriculture. Globally, safeguarding crop yields will substantially lower mitigation potential.

But, we highlight where win-win opportunities exist for these practices to contribute to climate and production goals. 1/N https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-025-02337-719 May 2025 14:18 +0000at://did:plc:qxervw3qtesioncenxbanjgb/app.bsky.feed.post/3lpjrbprkdc2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/scmcclelland.bsky.social/post/3lkefhtpsf227😡🤬 [contains quote post or other embedded content]14 Mar 2025 19:58 +0000at://did:plc:qxervw3qtesioncenxbanjgb/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkefhtpsf227https://bsky.app/profile/scmcclelland.bsky.social/post/3lcvdlk46j22zHappening in less than an hour! Our research asks if adopting intensification strategies and mitigation technologies (without lowering meat + milk demand) are *enough* to meet CH4 targets at global and regional scales Come by to find out if they are (or not) if you’re here at #AGU24!

Are these strategies enough to reduce CH4 without lowering consumption of meat and milk? Come see me at my poster during #AGU24 (GC13L-0336) on Monday, Dec. 9 from 13:40-17:30 EST to find out!06 Dec 2024 22:47 +0000at://did:plc:qxervw3qtesioncenxbanjgb/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcobaswcsk2q
