Workshop on Meta-analysis of Soil Nitrous Oxide (N₂O) Emissions and Carbon Credit Methodology for Biochar

Launched in 2023, the APO COE on Climate-smart Agriculture (CSA) hosted by the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO), Japan set among its first objectives the visualization of agricultural GHG emissions and the strengthening of APO members’ capacity to design and implement effective mitigation strategies. In 2024, efforts centered on CO₂, with a focus on soil carbon sequestration modeling, yielding significant progress in knowledge and capacity building. For 2025, the COE on CSA will address N₂O, a major GHG predominantly from agriculture. A pilot project will include a workshop on meta-analysis of soil N₂O emissions and biochar carbon credit methodology to evaluate model performance regionally. India, a major N₂O emitter with extensive available data, was selected as the focus country.
