Today's AFOLU (Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use) Sector and its Carbon Footprint

  • AFOLU Sector
  • Decarbonization Technologies
  • Greenhouse Gas Emissions
  • Deforestation Impact
  • Circular Resource Management

This course serves as an introduction to the theory and case studies concerning mitigation strategies and decarbonization technologies in the AFOLU sector. We will explore instances where AFOLU, influenced by both physical characteristics and management strategies, either sequesters greenhouse gases (GHGs) or contributes to their release. Key topics to be covered include the impact of deforestation on greenhouse gas emissions, the production of ammonia-based fertilizers from natural gas, and the effects of fertilizers and manure management on emissions. Additionally, students will delve into the role of tilling in reducing organic carbon in soils and explore the potential for eutrophication caused by agricultural runoff. To ground these concepts, Japanese case studies will be presented, offering real-world examples of AFOLU decarbonization technologies. This foundational knowledge will set the stage for more advanced study in the second session.

Learning Goal

  • Part 1: The impact of deforestation on Global GHG emissions
    Outcome: Students will be able to explain how deforestation contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, and discuss current efforts to reduce deforestation. At the end, you will have a clear understanding of forest management practices that improve CO2 sequestration.
  • Part 2: The role of agriculture in decarbonization efforts
    Outcome: Students will be able to explain the relationship between greenhouse gases (GHGs) and agriculture, including the role of indigenous practices. Additionally, this part will introduce students to the concepts of innovative solutions for carbon absorption/farming and circular economy in the AFOLU sector.
  • Part 3: AFOLU: The Case of Japan
    Outcome: Students will be able to explain resource and waste management practices with a focus on the AFOLU sector in Japan from the perspective of GHG emissions and circular resource management practices.
