By improving the efficiency of fertiliser use, emissions of N<sub>2</sub>O, NO and NH<sub>3</sub> can be decreased ([[Van Vuuren et al., 2011b]]). By increasing the amount of feed crops in the cattle rations, CH<sub>4</sub> emissions can be reduced. Production of crop types has a significant influence on emission levels of N<sub>2</sub>O, NO<sub>x</sub> and NH<sub>3</sub> from spreading manure and fertilisers. | ||

The major factors are fertiliser type and mode of manure and fertiliser application. Some fertilisers cause higher emissions of N<sub>2</sub>O and NH<sub>3</sub> than others. Incorporating manure into soil lowers emissions compared to broadcasting. | ||
The impacts of more ambitious control policies ({{abbrTemplate|CLE}} versus {{abbrTemplate|EKC}}) on SO<sub>2</sub> and NO<sub>x</sub>, emissions, and the influence of climate policy are presented in the figure below. Where climate policy is particularly effective in reducing SO<sub>2</sub> emissions, air pollution control policies are effective in reducing NO<sub>x</sub> emissions. | The impacts of more ambitious control policies ({{abbrTemplate|CLE}} versus {{abbrTemplate|EKC}}) on SO<sub>2</sub> and NO<sub>x</sub>, emissions, and the influence of climate policy are presented in the figure below.
