2. Plant growth: "global warming" impact and carbon sequestration
2.1 GHG emissions from agriculture
Although agricultural materials appear to be an interesting source of carbon sequestration, agriculture is responsible for 11% of the greenhouse effect linked to human activities, i.e. the emission of 5.7±1.4 billion tonnes CO 2 eq worldwide (2019 figures ). Europe, despite being the world's leading agricultural power, is responsible for just 12% of these emissions. The majority of agricultural GHG emissions are of non-energy origin and controlled by biological processes. In France, agriculture...
