The Finnish Climate roadmap for agriculture identifies agricultural land use as a key factor for resource efficiency – 75% of greenhouse gas emissions from Finnish agriculture come from soil.
The report, published on 15 July 2020 in Helsinki, estimates that it is possible to cut the greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture by 29% by 2035 and by 38% by 2050 from the present levels, with the current calculations and without a reduction in production. This is possible if the emissions of peatlands are reduced, the efficiency of carbon sequestration in mineral land is intensified, and biogas production and the use of solar energy on farms are increased.
