October 2009: The World Bank has published a note emphasizing the role of good agricultural practices and integrated natural resource management in addressing both mitigation and adaptation to climate change in production landscapes.
The note focuses on the role of good agricultural practices in protecting existing stocks of soil carbon in croplands, peatlands and wetlands; replenishing soil and biomass carbon and improving productivity in degraded lands; and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from crop and grazing land.
