Intensive farming's greenhouse gas emissions can be mitigated by adopting no-till practices and reducing nitrous oxide production.
Agriculture contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, with nitrous oxide being the main culprit in most ecosystems. No-till systems come closest to offsetting these emissions through soil carbon accumulation. Methane oxidation in some ecosystems helps balance out the greenhouse gas effect. Overall, there are opportunities to reduce the impact of agriculture on global warming potential.
