Synopsis (short abstract) This paper is part of a series detailing new methodologies for estimating key components of agrifood systems emissions, with a view to disseminate the information in FAOSTAT. It describes methods for estimating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with historic and current pesticide manufacturing, as part of an overall aim to inform countries of the environmental impacts of agrifood systems and the possible options to reduce them.

    This paper is part of a series detailing new methodologies for estimating key components of agri-food systems emissions, with a view to disseminate the information in FAOSTAT. It describes methods for estimating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fossil fuel-based energy use in agri-food systems processes outside agricultural land, i.e. those associated with pre- and post-production activities – in an effort to inform countries of the environmental impacts of agri-food systems and the possible options to reduce them.

    This paper is part of a series detailing new methodologies for estimating key components of agrifood systems emissions, with a view to disseminate the information in FAOSTAT. It describes methods for estimating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the agrifood system, and in particular fluorinated gases (F-gases) from refrigeration systems in the food system cold chain, from food processing to food transport, retailing and household consumption processes. Based on the proposed methodology, we build a new database of GHG from F-gases used in the agrifood system, by country and with global coverage, for the period 1990–2021.

    This paper is part of a series detailing new methodologies for estimating key components of agrifood systems emissions, with a view to disseminate the information in FAOSTAT. It describes methods for estimating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in households, which include fossil fuel-based energy use and non-renewable (i.e. beyond sustainable wood harvesting levels) woodfuel use.
