Agrifood systems and land-related emissions (Global, regional and country trends 2001–2021)
New FAOSTAT data release
09/11/2023
The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the GHG emissions from agrifood systems. Data are available by country, regional and global aggregates over the period 1961–2021.
The latest analytical brief provides an update to the year 2021 of all agrifood systems emissions and indicators. offering a more detailed focus on land-use change emissions.
