Summary/Abstract
The FAOSTAT Analytical Brief 18 provides a detailed examination of agriculture- related emissions trends globally and by region from 2000 to 2018. Highlighting the split between farm-gate emissions and land use changes, the report finds an overall increase in emissions from crop and livestock activities, while emissions from land use changes have declined, particularly due to a decrease in deforestation rates. It presents an in-depth look at how agriculture contributes to global emissions, with significant implications for climate change mitigation strategies and policies. Through a detailed breakdown of emissions sources and trends, the brief offers crucial insights for understanding the role of agriculture in global greenhouse gas emissions.
