Economic Potential for GHG Mitigation in the Agriculture Sector ERS Mark Peters Jan Lewandrowski Robert House Carol Jones WRI Suzie Greenhalgh Paul Faeth Joint presentation for the Forestry-Agriculture Greenhouse Gas Modeling Forum October 1 -3, 2001
Purpose: Characterize economic potential for mitigation of GHG emissions in agriculture sector at alternative incentive prices. • Two separate analyses using a jointly developed economic model • Many similarities • Several key differences – Mitigation activities – GHG emission rates – Producer incentives • Driving forces – Current economic structure – Changes in economic structure generated by carbon pricing
Outline • Presentation divided into three parts – Discussion of the basic model – ERS analysis – WRI analysis

Tillage practices Conventional till residue < 30 percent soil disturbed prior to planting Conventional till with moldboard plow residue <30 percent soil disturbed prior to planting moldboard plow Mulch-till residue > 30 percent soil disturbed prior to planting Ridge-till residue > 30 percent soil left undisturbed planting on ridges No-till residue > 30 percent soil left undisturbed
Endogenous variables • Input use – Land – Rotations – Tillage practices – Nitrogen fertilizer application rates • Carbon emissions – Energy use, soil
Endogenous variables • Prices • Production • Consumption • Trade

Data Sets – ARMS (Agriculture and Resource Management System) • Costs of production • Production practices • Tillage acres – NRI (Natural Resources Inventory) • Rotation acres
Data sets – USDA agricultural baseline – National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) • Regional Production • Regional Yield

ERS Analysis
Major Assumptions • Transformation elasticities • Rotations -2 • Tillage methods -10 • Mitigation pricing • Embodied in inputs Full CO 2 price • Soil Carbon Discounted (. 354 * CO 2 price)
Carbon embodied in Ag inputs
Conversion of cropland to forest use
Afforestation – Fifteen year program – Establishment costs -annualized – Payment for carbon sequestered – No payment forest products – Harvesting permitted for afforestation
Afforestation -Carbon sequestration • Birdsey
Changing tillage can enhance soil carbon sequestration conventional conservation
Ag soil management (Crop mix, rotation, tillage) – Costs of production by rotation – Charge for carbon embodied in inputs – Payment for carbon sequestered – Revenue from sale of crops
Carbon sequestration rates IPCC inventory procedures (Eve et. al. ) – Continuous hay or pasture – Continuous cropland • conventional tillage (conventional and moldboard) • reduced tillage (mulch- and ridge-till) • no-till – Continuous cropland with hay in rotation – Low residue crops • conventional tillage (conventional and moldboard) • reduced tillage (mulch- and ridge-till) • no-till
Carbon sequestration rates (cont. ) – Annual crops with fallow • conventional tillage • reduced tillage • no till – Annual crops 2 years then fallow 1 • conventional tillage • reduced tillage • no-till – Continuous lowland
Ag soil management: IPCC Based Carbon Sequestration Rates
Conversion of marginal cropland to grassland use
Grassland – Fifteen year program – Establishment costs based on CRP rates – Payment for carbon sequestered – No co-products (not used by livestock forage)
Crops to grassland: IPCC Based Carbon Sequestration Rates
Carbon payments
Net CO 2 emission reductions Discounted prices
Land changes: Discounted payments
Changes in net returns: Discounted payments
Change in commodity prices: Discounted payments
Net CO 2 mitigation Full vs Discount
Net CO 2 mitigation No discounting
WRI Analysis
WRI and USMP • Basic Model is the same as ERS • Major Differences – Geographical coverage – Treatment of GHG Emissions – Calibration of GHG – CRP is endogenous
WRI: USMP Geographic Coverage • National • 10 USDA farm production regions • 45 model resource regions (intersection of 26 USDA land resource regions and the farm production regions) • 8, 4 and 2 digit USGS hydrologic units for the Mississippi River Basin
WRI: 4 Digit USGS HUC coverage
WRI: GHG’s Included • Carbon Dioxide – Carbon sequestered by changing tillage practices and cropping rotations – Energy embodied in fertilizer/pesticide production – Energy used for tillage and processing activities • Nitrous Oxides – Emitted from synthetic N fertilizer applications
WRI: Data and Calibration • Carbon Dioxide – Use EPIC to calculate Carbon sequestered. – Embodied energy: University of Missouri (fertilizers), Rutgers University (pesticides), WRI (tillage etc. ) – Cropland CRP calibrated to National Resources Inventory data (Eve etal. , 2000). • Nitrous Oxides – Fertilizer emissions calculated using Methods for Estimating GHG emissions from Agricultural Soils, EIIP, 1999. – Calibrated to Inventory of US GHG Emissions and Sinks, EPA, 1999.
WRI: Scenario Modeling • Assumptions – CRP acreage is not capped – There is no discounting for carbon – Welfare payments include government payments

WRI: Future Improvements • Future Improvements – Nitrous oxides from legumes (already completed but not included in scenarios run for this workshop) – Biomass- ethanol production updates • Future Improvements (funding dependent) – Water quality implications of livestock
WRI: USMP Analysis • 1995 Farm Bill – Increased ‘Flex Payments’ and green payments • Climate Change – Impact of Kyoto Protocol on U. S. agriculture when coupled with domestic agricultural programs • Hypoxia assessment – ties water quality and climate change mitigation options together • 2002 Farm Bill – Bio-fuels/bio-energy options
