Land use change (LUC) accounting is an integral part of assessing the carbon footprints of food production, with deforestation being responsible for the lion’s share of LUC emissions. However, assessing deforestation can be complex due to data limitations and the difficulty of attributing emissions to specific crops.
In this webinar, Chandrakant Singh – researcher at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden – presents his work on how to attribute deforestation to agricultural commodities and quantify associated carbon emissions. Get a better understanding of the complexity of the topic and the deforestation data required to conduct benchmarking and risk assessment associated with deforestation and food production.
