    Consuming unsafe food carries risks that can have a major detrimental effect on trade, development, economic progress and health. It creates a vicious cycle of disease and malnutrition, particularly affecting infants, young children, as well as the elderly. In addition to posing serious health risks to consumers, food-borne diseases often cause substantial economic losses. As a result, identifying ways to improve the food systems in the country to reduce risks and protect consumers has become urgent. Areas of intervention include (but are not limited to) the meat industry, food processors, as well as small- and medium-sized enterprises. Despite the important role the meat industry plays in the agricultural economy in Ghana, it faces profound challenges, such as the safe production, processing and marketing of meat and meat products.

    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.
