Economics of GHG Mitigation in Agriculture: Incentive Design, Economic Benefits and Behavioural Responses

This special issue examines the economics of greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation in agriculture. The papers in the issue study agricultural mitigation from three broad perspectives: the design of mitigation incentives, the economic benefits of mitigation practices and programmes, and the adoption and behavioural responses by producers, consumers and other stakeholders. The papers span a wide range of countries, production systems and policy contexts, and collectively show that translating mitigation potential into mitigation outcomes depends critically on incentive design, measurement and the actions across producers, consumers, regulators and supply‐chain actors.
