Share of global greenhouse gas emissions from food, 2015
Food system emissions include agriculture, land-use change, and supply chain emissions (transport, packaging, food processing, retail, cooking, and waste).Emissions are quantified based on food production, not consumption. This means they do not account for international trade.
