Earth system scientists at the University of California, Irvine and different establishments have drawn the clearest line but connecting customers of agricultural produce in wealthier nations in Asia, Europe and North America with a development in greenhouse fuel emissions in less-developed nations, largely in the Southern Hemisphere.
In a paper revealed as we speak in Science, the researchers report that trade in land-use emissions—which come from a mix of agriculture and land-use change—elevated from 5.1 gigatons of carbon dioxide equal (when factoring in different greenhouse fuel emissions similar to nitrous oxide and methane) per 12 months in 2004 to 5.8 gigatons in 2017.
