On the 12th of February, the AgriDENZ project hosted a webinar on farm-level GHG accounting where Koen Deconinck from the OECD Trade and Agriculture Directorate presented ongoing work including insights from a new comprehensive database of 200 tools for farm-level GHG estimation.

This webinar presents the findings of a global meta-analysis examining the factors that regulate the effectiveness of biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) in reducing nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions from agricultural systems. BNI is a plant-mediated process in which certain metabolites inhibit soil nitrifying microorganisms, slowing the conversion of ammonium to nitrate and potentially reducing N₂O emissions. By synthesizing results from 23 published studies, this analysis evaluates the influence of genetic, environmental, and management factors on cumulative N₂O emission reduction. The results highlight that plant genus and species, soil physical characteristics (including texture, clay and sand content, and bulk density), soil nutrient status (such as soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻), drainage conditions, irrigation, geographic factors, measurement timing, and nitrogen fertilization practices (type and application rate) are key drivers shaping BNI effectiveness.

Manure management on livestock farms contributes significantly to the climate impact of agriculture via emissions of methane, nitrous oxide and ammonia. The IPCC tier 2 method to estimate methane emissions, developed in 1996, is based on the maximal methane production rate of fresh excreta (B0) and a conversion factor MCF to account for storage conditions. This calculation concept was meant to be simple, because it should be applicable worldwide, including regions where the staff carrying out the calculations has limited information about manure management systems or expertise in how management and environmental conditions may affect the processes behind methane emissions. Three researchers with much experience in developing models to calculate methane emissions from livestock farming will present new improvements of the tier 2 method as well as alternative approaches for calculating the emission. The intention of the webinar is to stimulate new initiatives to investigate the calculation of methane emissions from manure management, with the aim to develop a new generation of methods.

The Global Research Alliance (GRA), the African Climate Action Partnership (AfCAP), and the Government of New Zealand co-hosted this webinar to showcase the achievements of the New Zealand Climate Smart Agriculture (NZCSA) Initiative. The session highlights the initiatives key capability-building efforts across Africa focused on improving agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories, and the important role of the AfCAP Livestock Community of Practice. Through the NZCSA Initiative, technical work in ten countries has progressed beyond default emissions estimates to more advanced Tier 2 methodologies, enabling more accurate and country-specific data.

As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting developing countries in strengthening agricultural productivity, food security, market competitiveness, and agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting, AgriDENZ launched Foundations for Change — a four-part webinar learning series.
The series provides targeted advice, technical support, and training to both existing and new partners across Africa and Asia. It is designed to foster informed dialogue and strengthen collaboration among stakeholders on the key drivers, tools, and investment opportunities shaping agricultural GHG mitigation, measurement, and management.
The first webinar, “What Is Driving Change? – Emerging Market and Policy Signals”, held on 27 May 2026, examined the accelerating commercial, policy, and regulatory pressures reshaping global agriculture. Frans van Wyk, Director of Agrifusion South Africa, drew on practical regional examples to illustrate how countries and producers must navigate these shifts.

A recording of the third session of the Inventories and NDC (I&NDC) Network 2022 Webinar Series titled “Commissioning and managing agriculture inventory research projects” is now available to view.
It is crucial to effectively determine research priorities when resources for research are limited. Developing multilateral research projects and working with international research organisations facilitates collaboration across countries with similar production systems and agricultural circumstances.
In the first part of the session, we heard from experts on the process of designing research to meet inventory needs and ensuring new research results in inventory improvements. In the discussion, we considered multinational research prioritisation: timing, scaling and developing research projects with higher global relevance.

The second session of the Inventories and NDC (I&NDC) Network 2022 Webinar Series titled “National agriculture inventory data collection and management” was held on 14 June 2022.
Policies for agriculture mitigation strategies, as we discussed in the first webinar of the I&NDC Network series, are shaped by accurate national agriculture emissions estimates. However, estimates are only as good as the data that underpin them. National activity data collection and its management is a universal challenge for compilers from Annex I and non-Annex II countries alike.
The aim of this webinar was to increase awareness on overcoming a lack of good quality data, and on setting up data management frameworks to support increasing emissions reporting from Tier 1 to Tier 2 levels.
The session brought together expert speakers whose work focuses on improving agriculture inventory activity data related issues.

The first session of the Inventories and NDC (I&NDC) Network 2022 Webinar Series titled “The policy relevance of national GHG inventories in guiding mitigation for agriculture” was held on 24 May 2022.
This webinar brought together leading experts and industry stakeholders to discuss the relevance of national agriculture inventories in guiding policy decisions and questions including:
Listen to the speakers discuss the political dimension of inventories in the context of decisions on agriculture emission mitigation policies, determination of national emission targets, sector goals for voluntary or mandated emission targets and more.
