1990-2015 yearly data on nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from global food systems, disaggregated by gas. The dataset was developed by EDGAR-FOOD and complemented with FAO land-use emission data, providing a consistent inventory for all countries.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in N2O emissions from food systems by country and year.
- Model the relationship between food system stages and N2O output using yearly time-series data.
- Benchmark national N2O emissions from agriculture and land use against global totals.
- Correlate N2O emissions data with other economic or agricultural indicators for specific countries.
Strengths
- Covers 26 years of yearly data from 1990 to 2015.
- Provides global coverage for all countries.
- Integrates data from two established sources: EDGAR-FOOD and FAOSTAT.
Limitations
- Data ends in 2015, lacking recent trends.
- Specific row and column counts are unknown, limiting assessment of granularity.
- Methodological integration of two data sources may introduce consistency challenges.
