Sources of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Agriculture, with Particular Emphasis on Emissions from Energy Used

The relationship between agriculture and climate change is two-sided. Agriculture the branch of economy most affected by ongoing processes. It also a large emitter greenhouse gases there are more voices about need to reduce emissions. purpose study was, based on FADN (Farm Accountancy Data Network) data, determine structure gas emissions in farms identify types where it possible GHG (greenhouse gas) through better energy use. emission volume was determined basis IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change) methodology modified for data. related production were found be minor importance compared other sources. Only horticultural crop type from Energy section dominant stream emission. greatest come livestock production. Therefore, emphasis reducing should not placed sector because, except farm, much potential reduction. introduction taxes at level 27.31 EUR/t would farm income 21% field crops 40% herbivorous animals. exception low-emission permanent crops, decrease only 3.85%.
