In 2022, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the agricultural sector in Latin America and the Caribbean amounted to over 71 thousand kilotons.
Most of the CO2 emissions come from deforestation for agricultural activities, and the main sources tend to be petroleum-based products, as well as coal. Agriculturally driven deforestation is often linked to wildfires.
