METHANE EMISSIONS
So in reality, while agriculture at first appears to account for ~1/4 of methane emissions as 1 of 5 distinct categories, in reality it contributes to methane emissions across all of those categories and its true impact on methane is much higher.
AgMap is a systems-level view of the most important industry in the world… and a call to action.
This short story focuses on methane emissions and interconnections with agriculture. You can also explore similar stories focusing on dietary changes or fertilizer or explore the full scope of AgMap here. Or review an in-depth and annotated review of these case studies and our methods here.
These are some of our key take-aways, what are your conclusions and areas for impact? We would love to hear from you.
