U of M: AI Could Help Better Track Farm Emissions, Key to Climate Goals
- University of Minnesota researchers say AI could help track farm emissions, a major source of climate pollution.
- Agricultural emissions hold steady in Minnesota, now the 2nd biggest source of carbon releases.
- New U of M research found AI proved significantly more accurate than other models for tracking carbon.
- Paying farmers to reduce emissions will be key, with new income streams like carbon credits.
- Even with AI models, more soil sampling data is needed to track agriculture's climate impact.
