The FAO has compiled data regarding greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, forestry and other land use. Food Security and Agriculture have to face substantial challenges under climate change: Negative impacts on productivity are expected, while sectoral actions need to be implemented to limit global warming. 

Nontheless, greenhouse gas emissions from farming, livestock-raising, fisheries and forestry continue to rise (though not as fast as emissions from other human activities). Data on agriculture's emissions can help countries identify opportunities for reducing emissions while addressing their food security, resilience and rural development goals. Further, better data can help countries to gain access to global funding to pursue them. 

"The new FAOSTAT emissions database represents the most comprehensive knowledge base on agricultural greenhouse gas emissions ever assembled. Updated annually, it provides a global point of reference on emissions and mitigation opportunities in the sector. Emissions are measured in CO2 equivalent (CO2 eq) – a metric used to compare different greenhouse gases."

 #'''Realise closed nutrient cycles in agriculture''': Nutrient recycling is crucial for increasing soil carbon levels. Closed nutrient cycles have advantages regarding nitrogen as well as non-renewable nutrients such as phosphorus.<br/>
-#'''Change of consumption and waste patterns''': Changes in consumption patterns are absolutely necessary for a climate friendly agriculture (e.g. reduction of meat consumption, acceptance of resistant and locally adapted varietes). Consumer patterns directly influence energy use (e.g. seasonal and loacl products reduce emissions). Storage losses in developing countries could be avoided with improved infrastructure, while in developed countries food waste of the end product need to be reduced i.e. the consumer behaviour needs to change.<br/>
