Brazil had the largest overall emissions from agricultural land processes in 2021, at over 1.2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO₂e). Emissions from land use, such as from deforestation, accounted for the largest share of agriculture emissions in the South American country that year. By comparison, the majority of agriculture-related emissions in China and India were from within the farm-gate.
