Food systems are responsible for a third of global anthropogenic GHG emissions

M. Crippa et al.

Summary: Data on GHG emissions from the global food system are often scattered and unavailable, but EDGAR-FOOD provides a consistent database from 1990 to 2015. The largest contributions to food-system emissions come from agriculture and supply chain activities, representing 34% of total global GHG emissions.
