No results found.Iran’s total land area is 162.85 million ha of which 11.93 percent is covered by arable and permanent crops. The main commodities produced in the country are tomatoes, meat, chicken, milk, wheat, pistachios and grapes. When the first impacts of the green revolution were felt on human health and the environment, the Iranian scientific community and agencies responsible for the agriculture sector began to investigate ways to reduce the negative effects associated with applied intensive agriculture technologies. Addressing the issue of the excessive use of chemical pesticides, they appealed to the concept of Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
