Holistic approach required to lower arable emissions
0According to the UK Office for National Statistics, UK greenhouse gas emissions totalled 476mt carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) in 2024. Defra’s 2024 agri-climate report estimated 10-12% of UK greenhouse gas emissions were down to agriculture. Much of that is methane production from intensive livestock, but nitrous oxide from fertilisers accounted for close to one-third. Carbon dioxide from fuel was also a key contributor. However, it should be noted that of all the greenhouse gases, none are as potent as nitrous oxide, which also stays in the atmosphere for longer.
