About this data

Indicator: Emissions from crops — Emissions (CH4)
Unit: kt
Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations

Coverage: 248 places, 14,483 data points, 1961–2050
Last refreshed: 17 September 2026

The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
