Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from agriculture in OECD members is 30.17 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 0.2% on the previous year and down 5.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from agriculture in OECD members peaked at 33.93 Mt CO2e in 2016 and was at its lowest, 20.63 Mt CO2e, in 1974.
That places OECD members 14th out of 46 groups with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.2 Liming, 3.C.3 Urea application, 3.C.4 Direct N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.5 Indirect N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.6 Indirect N2O Emissions from manure management, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
