Here are five reasons why measuring GHGs is important:

To understand trends and identify how much agriculture contributes to greenhouse gas emissions relative to other sectors both nationally and internationally
To develop effective ways to reduce agricultural greenhouse gas emissions, e.g. identifying naturally low methaneemitting animals for breeding programmes
To find out whether actions intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are effective when they are applied in practic
To meet international obligations to monitor progress against commitments under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and subsequent agreement
To enable companies to monitor and report on their greenhouse gas footprint.
