Global agriculture-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions totaled reached almost six billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO₂e) in 2021. 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.

(in million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent)
Non-CO₂ emissions are expressed in CO₂ equivalents using 100-year global warming potential values from the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report.
