It is not only strongly affected by the impacts of climate change but is also a significant contributor to GHG emissions that fuel global warming. In this context it is important to note that reducing the GHG footprint of food production is a necessary condition for achieving SDG 12, which calls for ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns. Climate-smart crop management practices can have a strong impact on both agricultural GHG emissions and the resilience of the sector to climate variability. Fertilizer use and livestock production are the two main sources of GHG emissions from agriculture. In this regard, improved fertilizer management (such as timed-release fertilizers and fertilizers with nitrification inhibitors), conservation tillage, rotational grazing and altered feed composition can help reduce GHG emissions. For instance, integrated soil fertility management can increase crop productivity while reducing GHG emissions from the use of nitrogen fertilizer (Roobroeck et al.,
