(GHG) emissions to the atmosphere.
Land uses can also reverse the buildup
of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
by sequestering and storing carbon in
biomass and soils. The dominant drivers
of land use emissions of carbon are the
conversion of forest and grassland to
crop and pastureland and the depletion
of soil carbon through agricultural and
other land management practices.
Practices such as livestock grazing,
manure management, and fertilizer
application also affect emissions of
other GHGs such as methane (CH4) and
nitrous oxide (N2O). USDA research will
identify opportunities to apply resource
conserving management practices to
reverse past carbon losses and to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions. Areas of
focus under Goal 3 include:
• Knowledge and technologies that
will assist resource managers in
enhancing carbon sequestration;
• Management options that increase
forest carbon sequestration by
increasing the carbon stored in forests
and soils, in forest products, and used
as biofuels to replace fossil fuels.
• Costs, benefits, and feasibility of
mitigation options;
• Technologies and strategies for
managing agricultural and forestry
emissions of GHGs, including CO2, N2O,
and CH4;
• Mechanisms to facilitate the
adoption and incorporation of GHG
management technologies into
agricultural and forestry production,
processing, storage and delivery
systems;
• Estimation and measurement
capabilities for assessing the
effectiveness of GHG emission
management.
Goal 4: Deliver climate change
science and technology to USDA
agencies, stakeholders and collaborators
for improved decision making. USDA
maintains research, education, and
extension capabilities which can be
drawn on to meet the challenges of
climate change. USDA seeks comments
on how to best utilize resources to
address questions relevant to
stakeholders and decision makers at
local, regional, national, and
international scales. Goal 4 emphasizes
the delivery and application of the latest
scientific information, including:
• Education of USDA stakeholders,
clients and customers including the
general public, the scientific
community, land managers, producers,
and policy makers about climate change
and agriculture and forestry;
• Scientific collaboration and
technology transfer to integrate climate
change into decision-making for
management of natural and managed

ecosystems using the products of
research and development from the
three previous goals;
• Distribution and dissemination of
USDA climate change data, information,
and technology to interested users;
• Decision support tools for
policymakers, producers and land
managers charged with implementing
mechanisms for reducing GHG
emissions and enhancing carbon
sequestration, thereby increasing
resilience of natural, agricultural, and
forested ecosystems;
• Risk management paradigms to
balance production, conservation and
climate change, especially in light of
uncertainty regarding the specifics of
future climate and climate variability;
• Incorporation of GHG and carbon
sequestration data into USDA data
collection programs and data base
systems.
