Aether using data flow graphics to review the UK agriculture inventory

07 October 2014

Defra has commissioned Aether to review the nitrogen and carbon flows that contribute to key emission estimates for the agriculture sector of the UK National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory.

The project will focus on the development of new user friendly, engaging graphical mass flow diagrams. These will provide a basis for improving the transparency of method description and assumptions in the UK estimates and increase engagement, with the estimates, of policy makers and stakeholders.
