  1. 2. U.S. Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Emissions
  2. 3. State-Level Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Emissions
  3. Postproduction greenhouse gas emissions, while significant, have not been comprehensively catalogued in the United States.20
  4. 1. Global Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Emissions
  5. A. Agricultural Systems and Practices for Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
  6. At first glance, reducing net agricultural greenhouse gas emissions through public law poses a considerable challenge.
  7. E. Greenhouse Gas Pricing
  8. Methane and nitrous oxide are the two main greenhouse gases emitted by agricultural sources. EPA has several direct regulatory tools available to reduce emissions of these greenhouse gases, including recognizing the harm or “endangerment” caused by these pollutants and promulgating regulatory programs to require or support their reduction.
