Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture - Infopage

This indicator shows the annual emissions of methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) from agriculture, expressed in million tons CO₂ equivalent per year.

More in detail, the following sources of GHG from agriculture are included:

• — enteric fermentation of ruminants (CH₄) – UNFCC Sector 3.A
• — manure management (CH₄, N₂O) – UNFCC Sector 3.B
• — rice cultivation (CH₄) – UNFCC Sector 3.C
• — agricultural soil management (mainly CH₄, N₂O) – UNFCC Sector 3.D
• — Grassland – UNFCC Sector 4.C
• — Cropland – UNFCC Sector 4.B

The graph also shows the share of GHG emissions from agriculture in total GHG emissions.
