Analysis
Northern Europe recorded 1.19 kt for food processing — emissions in 2023. That is the lowest value across all 34 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 11.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, food processing — emissions in Northern Europe peaked at 6.29 kt in 1993 and was at its lowest, 1.19 kt, in 2022.
That places Northern Europe 23rd out of 34 groups with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain Emissions from Pre- and Post-Agricultural Production provides estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and related activity data associated with pre- and post-production stages of agrifood systems. The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), fluorinated gases (F-gases) and their aggregates expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq). Estimates are computed following Tier 1 methods of the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014) and are disseminated annually.
