Summary/Abstract
This report focuses on the policies to reduce land-based emissions of greenhouse gases while contributing to other strategic priorities for land such as food production, climate change adaptation and biodiversity. Therefore, the analysis balances the need to reduce land-based emissions with other essential functions of land, including maintaining food production. The actions the report identifies entail rapid changes in farming practices and consumer behavior, such that around one-fifth of agricultural land in the UK is released by 2050 for actions that reduce emissions and sequester carbon.
