Analysis
In 2015, ghg emissions from food systems, by gas (mt co2 eq) - f-gases in Canada stood at 14,293. That is the highest value across all 26 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 20.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, ghg emissions from food systems, by gas (mt co2 eq) - f-gases in Canada peaked at 14,293 in 2015 and was at its lowest, 25.18, in 1990.
That places Canada 5th out of 93 countries with data for 2015, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
GHG emissions from food systems disaggregated by gas 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).
