Agriculture causes around 10%, while transportation, including freight and flights causes around 30%.
Among the most effective things you can do yourself with minimal impact of your way of life is choosing to eat less meat.
Edit: the numbers I remembered was for Europe. Globally food production is 25%
- gvjddbnvdrbv 6y agoThese are USA numbers correct? My numbers are whole world numbers.
- astura 6y agoMost I can tell your numbers are just entirely made up, I've never heard of any serious study ever estimating global green house gas emissions from agriculture under 10%. https://www.c2es.org/content/international-emissions/ https://www.c2es.org/content/international-emissions/ >Globally, the primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions are electricity and heat (31%), agriculture (11%), transportation (15%), forestry (6%) and manufacturing (12%). Energy production of all types accounts for 72 percent of all emissions.
