Climate change is one of the greatest threats to human society. Agriculture is a potential source of low cost alternatives to protect the environment. However, the expansion of intensive agriculture has caused much environmental damage due to GHG emissions and nutrient loads. This study is an economic and environmental analysis of the climate change adaptation and mitigation measures in the agriculture of Aragon. The analysis is performed with a bio-economic model that represents the agricultural activities. The results of the investigation show that the measures of nitrogen standard and irrigation modernization are second best measures while the first best measure of taxing emissions is not feasible due to the diffuse character of agricultural pollution. The study also shows that economic instruments are very inefficient in reducing pollution and forest management to increase carbon sequestration is a good alternative to mitigate climate change
