From the perspective of Finland’s and the EU’s climate goals, it is important that agriculture becomes more climate efficient. The aim of climate-smart agriculture is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon sequestration while simultaneously improving agricultural sustainability and productivity.

In Finland, scenario calculations have been used to set carbon sink targets for forests and support decision-making in the forest sector by estimating the carbon sink potential of forests, either through maintaining past levels of wood use and felling or by estimating the maximum sustainable logging level in terms of wood production. However, the scenario calculations lack an analysis of different options, including lower logging levels than in the past.
