Presentations/resource papers were delivered from each of the five different sub-regions of the Latin American/Caribbean region (Amazon/Brazil; Andean countries/highlands; Central American countries and Mexico; Southern Cone; Caribbean). The expert consulta tion also concentrated on the formulation of policy guidelines for incorporation into national policies, taking into account social, economic and environmental objectives.

BookletGreenhouse gas emissions from pre- and post agricultural production processes
Global, regional and country trends, 1990–2020
2023Also available in:
No results found.Agrifood systems account for one-third of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and pre- and post-production (PPP) activities represent just over 33 percent (5.5 Gt CO2eq) of agrifood systems emissions. PPP activities cover activities after the farm gate (food processing, food packaging, food transport, food retail, food household consumption, agrifood systems waste disposal), and before the farm gate (fertilizer manufacturing, pesticide manufacturing, generation of electricity used on farm, generation of heat used on farm). This analytical brief focuses on a new FAOSTAT domain dedicated to PPP emissions. Data already published in FAOSTAT in previous years, and previously disseminated in other domains, are now organized in the PPP domain, including information on both emissions and the underlying activity data. -
