GHG Network theme day: Agriculture and Greenhouse Gas Emissions

There is a considerable potential in the agricultural sector to act as a part of the solution to the climate change challenge instead of merely being a part of the problem. Fulfilling this goal necessitates a common platform in the form of a network, where the multiple interactions between biological processes and production systems and a changing climate can be integrated using an interdisciplinary approach. This day is an internal networking day at AU to launch an AU network, the Agriculture and greenhouse gas research network (GHG). Be involved in creating overview and solutions and contribute with posters on new equipment, technologies, experimental set up, facilities and results from your GHG work.
