Land sparing farming could offset agricultural carbon emissions
2016-01-17 08:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ars Technica: Agriculture is not responsible for the bulk of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions; that honor goes to more fossil-fuel intensive activities like transportation and generating electricity. Even still, greenhouse gas emissions from global agriculture are climbing by 1 percent a year. Humans did once upon a time live without HDTVs and Hummerswe could do so again, at least in theorybut people will always have to eat. This makes reducing agricultural emissions particularly difficult. Researchers in...

Source: USDA The United States farm real estate value, a measurement of the value of all land and buildings on farms, averaged $2,900/acre for 2013, up 9.4% from revised 2012 values. Regional changes in the average value of farm real estate ranged from a 23.1% increase in the Northern Plains region to no change in the Southeast region. The highest farm real estate values were in the Corn Belt region at $6,400/acre. The Mountain region had the lowest farm real estate value at $1,020/acre. read more
