Summary

● An expert survey highlighted the most effective strategies for GHG and ammonia mitigation. ● Interventions considered to have the highest mitigation potential are discussed. ● Experts agreed that no single mitigation measure can uniquely deliver GHG and ammonia mitigation. ● Experts noted a need for further investment in research, knowledge exchange, education and to develop implementation pathways. ● There is a need for more data to better quantify mitigation potentials and implement effective management strategies. Agriculture is essential for providing food and maintaining food security while concurrently delivering multiple other ecosystem services. However, agricultural systems are generally a net source of greenhouse gases and ammonia. They, therefore, need to substantively contrib
