Canada's agricultural sector emitted 56 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e) in 2022. Emissions from this sector have remained relatively stable throughout the last decade. The agricultural industry is responsible for a large volume of methane gas, a highly potent greenhouse gas.
