Climate Change
Climate change has been predicted to have significant impacts on agricultural productivity at global level. The effects of climate change will primarily influence agriculture via alterations in plant growth, with alterations in water availability, nutrient availability, increased temperature and elevated CO2

Signpost Programme
A Teagasc led programme aimed at reducing gaseous emissions from Irish agriculture, while creating more profitable and sustainable farming enterprises
-
Greenhouse Gases
Greenhouse gases have a negative impact on climate change and are methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). In agriculture the first two are the most important.

Soil Carbon
Carbon sequestration describes the process of transferring carbon from the atmosphere to the terrestrial biosphere. Temperate grasslands have shown strong potential to store carbon belowground in roots and soil

Ammonia
Ammonia (NH3) volatilisation reduces N use efficiency in agricultural production systems, contributes to indirect N2O emissions and is also related to deterioration of regional air quality, and eutrophication and acidification of natural ecosystems
-
Research
Research on Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) and Climate Change focuses on strategies to reduce sources of GHGs both nitrous oxide and methane, from livestock and agricultural land
