What's the Climate Cost of Growing Crops? New global maps show croplands produce nearly 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Rice, corn, wheat and oil palm drive most of the impact.

Growing crops has a bigger climate cost than many realize 🌾

In 2020, croplands emitted 2.5 Gt CO2e, nearly 5% of global net emissions. New analysis explores where these emissions come from and how to cut them:
