This study explores how Finland’s agriculture sector can achieve carbon reduction targets through moderate dietary and land-use adjustments. By shifting to plant-based diets and reducing feed crop cultivation, agricultural emissions could decrease by over 40% by 2050. The study emphasizes that supporting crop yield improvements and integrating adaptation measures can sustain productivity while reducing emissions, aligning with Finland’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2035.
