Global agriculture-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions totaled 5.87 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (Gt CO₂e) in 2020. Annual GHG emissions from agricultural activities have increased by 18 percent since 1990. Enteric fermentation, manure management, and rice cultivation are some of the biggest sources of agriculture GHG emissions.
