Although agriculture is a source of greenhouse gas emissions, it also has carbon sequestration function. In the context of global warming and depletion of energy resources, the Western developed countries have explored the development model of low-carbon agriculture from many aspects such as developing strategies, promoting carbon trading and innovating upon production techniques. Based on the successful international experience, this paper analyzes the actual situation of China's agricultural carbon emissions, and sets forth the recommendations for the development of China's low-carbon agriculture.
