jats:titleAbstract</jats:title>jats:pAgricultural nitrous oxide (Njats:sub2</jats:sub>O) emission reduction strategies are required given the potency of Njats:sub2</jats:sub>O as a greenhouse gas. However, the growing influence of Njats:sub2</jats:sub>O on stratospheric ozone (Ojats:sub3</jats:sub>) with declining stratospheric chlorine means the wider atmospheric impact of Njats:sub2</jats:sub>O reductions requires investigation. We calculate a Njats:sub2</jats:sub>O emission reduction of 1.35 TgNjats:sub2</jats:sub>O yrjats:sup-1</jats:sup> (~5% of 2020 emissions) using spatially separate deployment of nitrification inhibitors ($70–113 tCOjats:sub2</jats:sub>ejats:sup−1</jats:sup>) and crushed basalt (no-cost co-benefit) which also sequesters COjats:sub2</jats:sub>. In Earth System model simulations for 2025–2075 under high (SSP3-7.0) and low (SSP1-2.6) surface warming scenarios, this Njats:sub2</jats:sub>O mitigation reduces NOjats:subx</jats:sub>-driven Ojats:sub3</jats:sub> destruction, driving regional stratospheric Ojats:sub3</jats:sub> increases but with minimal impact on total Ojats:sub3</jats:sub> column recovery. By 2075, the radiative forcing of the combined Njats:sub2</jats:sub>O and COjats:sub2</jats:sub> reductions equates to a beneficial 9–11 ppm COjats:sub2</jats:sub> removal. Our results support targeted agricultural Njats:sub2</jats:sub>O emission reductions for helping nations reach net-zero without hindering Ojats:sub3</jats:sub> recovery.</jats:p>
