Book (series)Livestock and environment statistics: manure and greenhouse gas emissions
Global, regional and country trends, 1990–2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Livestock statistics made available in FAOSTAT offer valuable information on livestock numbers and production, provided by FAO by country and over a long period. This data is used by the academic community to estimate relevant environmental statistics and indicators, including the availability and use of livestock manure and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Such information is key to help designing and implementing sustainable agricultural practices. The estimates of livestock manure are computed and disseminated in FAOSTAT by livestock type, by country, and in regional aggregates, for the period 1961–2018. -
BookletGreenhouse gas emissions from agrifood systems
Global, regional and country trends, 2001–2023
2025Also available in:
No results found.Agrifood systems account for about one-third of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. They are generated within the farm gate, from crop and livestock production activities; by land use change, caused by deforestation, biomass fires and peatland degradation processes often linked to land clearance for agriculture; and in pre- and post-production processes, comprising the supply chain including food manufacturing, retail, household consumption and food disposal. Statistics on the underlying activity data, emissions and indicators (shares of total economy, per capita emissions and emissions intensities) are disseminated in FAOSTAT at the country, regional and global levels, covering over 200 countries and territories, for the period 1961–2023, together with a comprehensive summary of emissions from the rest of the economy. Data are provided by single component gases – carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases (F-gases) – as well as in carbon dioxide equivalents. This analysis focuses on the period 2001–2023.Global agrifood systems emissions reached 16.5 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2023, up 21 percent since 2001. Their share in total emissions fell from 38 to 32 percent in 2023. -
BookletGreenhouse gas emissions from agrifood systems
Global, regional and country trends, 2000–2020
2022Also available in:
No results found.Agrifood systems account for one-third of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. They are generated in various ways: within the farm gate, through crop and livestock production; through land-use change; and in pre- and post-production processes, including food manufacturing, retail, household consumption and food disposal. According to the latest data, global agrifood systems emissions reached 16 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Gt CO2eq) in 2020, an increase of 9 percent since 2000.
