Modeling Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Agriculture: Experts Meet for Knowledge Exchange
 

In order to correctly model greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, a deeper understanding of agricultural management is required. Experts from the agricultural sector came together at the workshop on 2 April 2025 at the Freie Universität Berlin to improve and harmonise the assumptions for agricultural management in Germany.

To accurately model greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, a deep understanding of agricultural management is essential. A specialized workshop, organized by Module Q&S, at the Institute of Meteorology at the Freie UniversitätFree University of Berlin brought together experts from the agricultural sector, greenhouse gas reporting, and modeling of agricultural activities to improve and harmonize assumptions for agricultural management in Germany.

The first knowledge exchange served to network experts and identify knowledge gaps to guide future research, activities, and comparisons. The results of this workshop will primarily be used within ITMS to improve the modeling of the spatio-temporal variability of greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, they will contribute to deepening existing collaborations. A follow-up workshop is planned for 2026 to build on the results and continue the cooperation between experts.
