Abstract

• In some southern WA grainbelt regions it is feasible to alter crop rotation selection while maintaining farm profitability and reducing agricultural GHG emissions.
• In the northern WA grainbelt, shifting into crop-based rotations increases profitability while decreasing agricultural GHG emissions.
• Research and innovation in low-emission fertilisers and anti-methanogenic feeds or pastures will help further reduce agricultural emissions.
