Abstract

Production efficiency helps with mitigation (eg precision feeding and fertilizing)
Emission reduction may piggy-back on more dominant issues (injection of pig manure)
It is important to understand the emission inventory (eg in Canada emissions from storage are low)
There are impediments to reductions (e.g. need large reductions to effect change) but equally there are opportunities to target impact
There is a need for multipurpose technology with low uptake threshold such as low emission applicators that can be home built
