Why do we need more and better data?
Low-emissions development
Global negotiations
Climate finance
Based on existing data, we know very little about African agricultural GHG fluxes

Nitrous oxide emissions from increasing fertilizer use in Africa
• Government subsidy programs
• NGOs (e.g., Alliance for Green Revolution in Africa)
• Used in private sector (Unilever), MRV (Gold Standard), & farmers
• Differ in input requirements, speed of assessment and ease of use
• Largely based on the same input data and models
Impact assessment with ‘GHG calculators’
Colomb et al. 2012
Small-scale spatial heterogeneityContext- specific measurement methods
At ~4 time points
Ultimately we need more data

Integrated assessment of
farming systems
Priorities for research and development
Consistent and comparable data
