This subject instructs the participants to the processes by which greenhouse gases are evolved from agricultural systems, and the basis of that understanding, including options for mitigation. The principle focus will be on enteric methane and nitrous oxide emissions from soils, fertilisers and animal waste. Accounting frameworks will be introduced which will enable participants to evaluate mitigation options and consider potential for carbon trading.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students are expected to be better able to:
- evaluate agricultural emissions, sources and processes;
- interpret the complexity of accounting and reporting of emissions, and;
- evaluate options for abatement.
Generic skills
On completion of this subject, students are expected to be better able to:
- Collect, evaluate and integrate policy information and published literature;
- Work constructively with colleagues; respect the value of other points of view, and identify knowledge gaps;
- Prepare written documents of a high quality that clearly and convincingly inform the reader.
