Agenda (1) Efficient and effective GHG mitigation strategies in agriculture (2) What agri benchmark has to offer (3) Highlights from our research (4) Future research Page 2 Julián Chará, Ernesto Reyes, Claus Deblitz, Yelto Zimmer 06.02.2019 agri benchmark and GRA
Our approach (1) Agricultural is extremely fragmented – GHG mitigation strategies that require intense and close monitoring will fail. (2) Therefore strategies have to create a win-win. (3) Productivity growth is the multiple win-win: Less GHG per unit, higher income, more food, less pressure for LUC. (4) Globally, more productive systems are established. No rocket science is needed. (5) What you need: in-depth understanding of current systems and obstacles for improvements and how to overcome them.

Main conclusions The case studies provide sound evidence that SPS simultaneously deliver gains in productivity and profitability, environmental improvements, and animal welfare benefits and thereby support a number of SDGs The same quantity of product can be produced on less land which can be released to native vegetation / carbon sinks. To avoid undesired rebound-effects, good governance, policies and incentives are required Public- private alliances, driven by strong farmer’s organizations, have proven crucial in overcoming technical barriers National policies should support SPS adoption with specialized training for extension workers and technicians, dedicated credit lines and payment for environmental services and other incentives Page 15 Julián Chará, Ernesto Reyes, Claus Deblitz, Yelto Zimmer 06.02.2019 agri benchmark and GRA
