Our Common Future poster CCAFS-MOT Diana feliciano july 2015
This document describes the development of a tool called the CCAFS MOT (Mitigation Options Tool) to help policymakers make decisions about effective mitigation options in agriculture. The tool estimates the mitigation potential of several management options for soils and ranks them according to their potential. It combines several empirical models to estimate greenhouse gas emissions. The developers are refining the tool through workshops with national planners and researchers to identify needed information.

General Input Region Country Indonesia Climate Tropical moist Is the climate semiarid or arid No Soil CHOOSE Simplified input choose soil type light soil (e.g. sandy), low SOC Soil texture Coarse Soil organic C (%) 1.2 Soil N content (%) 0.12 Soil pH 7 Bulk density (g cm -‐3 ) 1.7 Was there a change? Land use change Arable to Grassland Results What dis%nguishes the CCAFS MOT? • It is easy and quick to fill (5-‐10 minutes) • It es?mates the miAgaAon potenAal of several management op?ons • It ranks the miAgaAon opAons according to their mi?ga?on poten?al • It joins several empirical models to es?mate GHG emissions Interface 227.6 kg.ha-‐1 279.7 kg.ha-‐1 1211 kg.ha-‐1 Fer?lizer produc?on Fer?lizer induced field emissions Methane emissions Gross emissions Unit Per area 1753 kg CO2eq ha-‐1 Per yield 0.351 kg CO2eq kg-‐1 How are we developing it?
