3 2004 Total Ag GHG Emissions in CA 2004 Total Ag GHG Emissions in CA (MMTCO2E) 1990 Baseline Emissions : 23.4 MMTCO2E (5% of Statewide total) 2004 Baseline Emissions: 27.9 MMTCO2E (6% of Statewide total) 2020 Preliminary Forecasted Emissions: 31.9 MMTCO2E

4 AB 32 Advisory Committees Market - create market-based compliance mechanisms for reducing GHG emissions Environmental Justice - reduce GHG emissions while maximizing the overall societal, economic, environmental, and public health benefits Economic Technology Advancement - activities that will facilitate investment in and implementation of technological research and development opportunities that will assist in GHG emission reductions Economic and Allocation – evaluate different allowance allocation strategies and how to structure a cap-and-trade system that will reduce GHG emissions

5 Potential Agriculture Strategies Livestock emissions Energy (biomass/biofuels/renewable energy) Efficiency improvements Land use/sequestration Research

6 Livestock Emissions Reduction of GHG emissions from livestock operations Potential Approaches Manure Management- methane digesters Enteric Fermentation-feeding additives

7 Production and use of renewable fuels in place of fossil fuels Potential Approaches Agricultural waste stream utilization Bio-fuel crops Renewable energy (solar, wind) Energy

8 Reduce GHG emissions through more efficient agricultural practices Potential Approaches Crop Management Water Management Pump Efficiency and Electrification Conservation Tillage Fertilizer Use Efficiency Efficiency Improvements

9 Research Explore improved agricultural practices and their impacts Potential Approaches Life Cycle Analysis Best Practice Protocols Fertilizer N 2 O Emissions

10 Campaign to Defeat the Dirty Energy Proposition Passage would effectively repeal Assembly Bill 32 (clean energy and air pollution reduction law) Claim that it ’ s simply a “ suspension ” is deceptive and untrue “ Suspend until unemployment reaches 5.5% for full year ” Unemployment only at that arbitrarily low point 3 times in last 3 decades

11 SAVE A MILLION JOBS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AB 32 = A Million Lost Jobs, Billions in Higher Energy and Other Costs Won ’ t Make a Difference in Global Warming
