| dc.description | Due to the growth of agricultural production, FAO estimated that emissions from agriculture, forestry and fisheries have almost doubled over the past fifty years and could increase by 18% by 2030 and 30% by 2050 . Since the years 2000, this increase has mainly occurred in developing countries. Between 2001 and 2010, Asia (44%) and the Americas (26%) were the largest contributors to global emissions, followed by Africa (15%) and Europe (12%) . Agricultural production and land use change (defores tation) are responsible for most of agricultural GHG emissions, with respectively 50% and 38% of the emissions share in the sector. For the period 2001-2010, the largest emission source was agriculture followed by net forest conversion (38%), peat degradation (cultivation of organic soils and peat fires) (11%) and biomass fires (1%). | |
