Abstract

● To achieve food security, Chinese agriculture– food system could not achieve C neutrality.

● China’s dual carbon goals has put forward more strict requirements for the green development of agriculture.

● The realization of C mitigation potential lies in the extensive application of existing technologies and technological innovation.

The agricultural sector, a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, and emissions from agriculture must be reduced substantially to achieve carbon (C) neutrality. Based on a literature analysis and other research results, this study investigated the effects and prospects of C reduction in agricultural systems under different scenarios (i.e., methods and approaches) in the context of China’s dual C goals, as those working in the agricultural sector have yet to reach a consensus on how to move forward. Different views, standards, and countermeasures were analyzed to provide a reference for agricultural action supporting China’s C neutrality goal.
