Analysis
Australia recorded 6.4 for food ghg emissions by system stage (share of total) - retail in 2015. That is the highest value across all 26 years on record.
That represents a change of up 4.7% on the previous year and up 81.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, food ghg emissions by system stage (share of total) - retail in Australia peaked at 6.4 in 2015 and was at its lowest, 1.15, in 1990.
That places Australia 43rd out of 192 countries with data for 2015, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
Food GHG emissions disaggregated by system stage are generated from EDGAR-FOOD, a global emission inventory of GHGs from the food systems. EDGAR-FOOD has been developed to aid the understanding of the activities underlying the energy demand and use, agriculture and land use change emissions associated with the production, distribution, consumption and disposal of food through the various stages and sectors of the composite global food system. These data were complemented with data from the FAOSTAT database on GHG emissions from land use related to agriculture (FAO, 2020). EDGAR-FOOD represents the first database consistently covering each stage of the food chain for all countries with yearly frequency for the period 1990-2015. Details regarding the methodology applied are available in Crippa et al. (2021).
