Agricultural support policies and GHG emissions from agriculture in Latin America: relationships and policy implications for climate change by Sara A. Wong, Gonzalo Rondinone, Carmine Paolo De Salvo

“…This study uses policy data —market price support (MPS) and general service support estimates (GSSE) as shares of total support estimate (TSE)— and greenhouse gases (GHG) data for main crops and livestock sectors in 18 Latin-American countries and it applies cluster analysis to construct a typology that highlights patterns between policy incentives for agricultural crops and activities and GHG emissions. The results suggest that an increase in the TSE and/or MPS comprising a large share of the TSE leads to an increase in GHGs. …”

The climate impact and land use of cultivated meat: Evaluating agricultural feedstock production. by Hanno Kossmann, Thorsten Moess, Peter Breunig

“…The specific objectives are to determine the minimum land area required to produce a certain amount of cell medium-feedstock for CM production-on agricultural land and to identify potential future land use scenarios assuming that the macro components of the cell medium are solely produced from common agricultural crops in southern Germany. A linear programming model was developed to analyze four different scenarios of CM production, considering factors such as crop rotation, nutrient sourcing, and solar energy use. …”
