Final Project Results

Assessment of the quantification / modeling of GHG emissions in which N2O emissions from soybean production was completed. This effort included conducting a literature review of relevant topics, discussing research needs with scientific experts in the area, summarizing key findings from relevant literature, and identifying key action areas to help guide USB strategic decisions. Lastly, an overview of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting guidelines was provided.
