Resumen
Descripción
U.S. rice industry producers face pressure from consumers, suppliers, and the government
to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with rice (Oryza sativa L.) production.
Arkansas rice cultivar-specific net GHG emissions information allows models of
paddy rice emissions. Baseline levels of profit, yield variance, and GHG emissions are
established using extension data. Varietal selection is then optimized to maximize profits and
minimize GHG emissions, both constrained and unconstrained by baseline yield variance.
Carbon abatement functions are estimated to examine the effects of hypothetical carbon
prices on varietal selection.
