Based on the IPCC reports, agriculture contributes a share of 13.5 percent to global anthropogenic GHG emissions. Moreover, food processing accounted for a share of GWP which I could not find it in the literature review. In addition, methane emissions from MSWs landfills (which is mostly organic materials) accounts for 11% of total methane emissions in the world. As you know, methane has a potential of 21 times more than CO2 in global warming phenomenon. In my opinion, the share of GWP of food supply chain, use and disposal can be considered more 20 percent which is a remarkable percentage! What do you think?
Dear Amin Nikkhah,
In my opinion agriculture is the basic sector of national economies. The technological progress that has been taking place over the millennia, including mechanization and the chemization of agriculture developed since the beginning of the 20th century, through the use of chemical plant protection products, and then genetics have increased yield per hectare. Technical and technological progress in agriculture has also contributed to the gradual decline in employment in agriculture. However, these are not the most serious problems of agriculture. However, many scientific studies and data of climatologists suggest that in the near future, in the 21st century, these will not be the most serious problems of agricultural development. Well, in the 21st century, due to the progressive global warming, crop acreages and areas of arable land can be significantly reduced. In connection with the emission of greenhouse gases in the perspective of the next dozen or so years, the process of global warming may enter the phase of acceleration of this warming and the inability to reverse this process if man in the coming years fails to implement pro-ecological reforms to implement sustainable and pro-ecological development based on national and global economy. the concept of a new, green economy. If this negative scenario was to be realized then by the end of the 21st century at the latest the average temperature at the Earth's surface will increase by as much as another 4 degrees C, which will increase and increase the scale of increasingly emerging climatic cataclysms, all glaciers and arable land areas they will decrease. As part of climate disasters, droughts, desertification and steppping of existing areas covered with greenery will appear. These processes will also reduce arable land areas. There will be problems with the boarding of a large part of the population, the scale of the national migration of people in search of places to live will increase, to survive. More and more permanent economic crises will appear and the risk of dramatic events, including wars, will increase. Humanity can not let this happen. This is the main challenge of humanity for the 21st century. In the near future, ecological innovations, renewable energy sources, streamlining the process of waste segregation and recycling, the electromobility of motorization etc. should be developed. Scientific research shows that these projects should be carried out on a large scale globally already in the perspective of the next decade. Otherwise, the process of global warming will accelerate and become an irreversible process, which in turn would lead to a global climate disaster at the latest at the end of the 21st century.
Best wishes

In my opinion, it will be small compared to other sectors.
Global warming is due to human activities that emit to the atmosphere carbon dioxide (CO2) in excess of the capacity of Nature to recycle it. For more than one century humans have been unearthing fossil carbon (coal, oil and natural gas), and burning it, at a rate that far exceeds any natural process, and this is too much for the natural system. The result is unprecedented rise in CO2 content in the atmosphere, from less than 300 ppm in pre-industrial times to more than 400 ppm in the past few years.
Considering that the food chain is about organic carbon, not fossil carbon, the food chain per se does not contribute significantly to global warming.
