This report describes the current state of agriculture in the UK with regard to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions it produces and the climate and other socio-economic policies that it faces. We identify options that could reduce agricultural emissions and estimate the mitigation potential of those options. Finally, we identify barriers to adopting these mitigation strategies and some possible solutions to overcoming those barriers.
