We must understand the limitations of current research and data in order to craft effective policies.

This is particularly true in agriculture, which uses a vast amount of land—that could otherwise be used for different purposes— and where production cannot be standardized to the degree that it is in most other sectors of the economy.

An apple tree in Washington will have radically different irrigation, nutrient, and anti-pest needs than an apple tree grown in New York state. It may also have substantially different needs than an apple tree down the road due to variations in microclimates and land use history. The production of widgets, or even energy, is much easier to standardize and

thus analyze. We begin the section by examining the ways that EPA’s official figures significantly underestimate agricultural emissions. We then examine the substantial uncertainties in those estimates. Both of these problems underscore the need to rapidly reduce net agricultural emissions.
