Carbon Farming & Regenerative Agriculture

Research Target:

Promoters of carbon farming & regenerative agriculture, farmer associations, dairy farm producers, competent authorities

Research Content:

Japan's average annual temperature has increased by 1.35°C over the past century. The summer of 2024 saw the hottest temperatures on record. The world is enduring increasingly intense heatwaves, and as The United Nations Environment Programme's "Emissions Gap Report 2024" warns, the global average temperature could rise by as much as 3.1°C by the end of the century.

Agriculture, forestry, and fisheries are susceptible to climate change. Heatwaves have degraded farm produce, and heavy rainfalls have turned into catastrophe in areas that tend to be affected severely by natural disasters. In the FY2022, the total emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) in Japan amounted to 1,135 million tons of CO2 equivalent. According to MAFF, the total emissions by agriculture, forestry, and fisheries accounted for 47.9 million tons, representing 4.2% of the total emissions. The majority of the farming-related methane gas emission is associated with paddy fields and animal husbandry (gastrointestinal fermentation and manure).

Reducing GHG in agriculture is an urgent matter to address. From this aspect, enriching soil and storing more carbon in soil through carbon farming and regenerative agriculture is garnering attention.
The purpose of this survey is to study domestic and international initiatives for carbon farming and regenerative agriculture, as well as the trends regarding J-Credits in farming and animal husbandry sector, to explore the potentials of carbon farming and regenerative agriculture in the future.
