Nearly 15% of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture, and of that amount, 67.4% is methane from ruminant animals such as sheep and cattle.2
Source of Australian Emissions3
- Carbon dioxide is emitted from farmsas a result of land clearing, energy use (burning fossil fuels) and loss of soil carbon from tillage and pasture management.
- Methane is created by the digestion of cellulose in the rumens of grazing animals and is released through burping.
- Nitrous oxide is released from soils, through disturbance, nitrogen fertilisers, urine and dung.
Along with other industries that emit greenhouse gases, Australian agriculture needs to respond to the challenge of reducing its emissions.
