Greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector in the United Kingdom fell from 54.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e) in 1990 to 46.6 MtCO₂e in 2023. This was also the lowest figure reported during the period in consideration. Methane and nitrous oxide are the two main greenhouse gases released by the agricultural sector. In comparison, carbon dioxide is a much more common green house gas in most sectors in the UK.
