The FAOSTAT database of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture por Tubiello, F.N., Salvatore, M., Rossi, S, Ferrara, A., Fitton N, Smith, Pete

“…Yet while emissions from fossil fuels are updated yearly and by multiple sources—including national-level statistics from the International Energy Agency (IEA)—no comparable efforts for reporting global statistics for agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) emissions exist: the latest complete assessment was the 2007 IPCC report, based on 2005 emission data. …”

Towards an inventory of methane emissions from manure management that is responsive to changes on Canadian farms por VanderZaag AC, MacDonald JD, Evans, L., Verge XPC, Desjardins, R.L.

“…Using the Canadian emission inventory methodology as an example, this letter explores three key aspects for improving emission quantification: (i) obtaining emission measurements to improve and validate emission model estimates, (ii) obtaining more useful activity data, and (iii) developing a methane emission model that uses the available farm management activity data. In Canada, national surveys to collect manure management data have been inconsistent and not designed to provide quantitative data. …”
