SUSTAINABILITY FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE October 2024 81 increase from 1950. This includes emissions from agriculture (e.g., livestock, crop production), food processing, transportation, and land-use changes. This increase is consistent with FAO’s new findings, of food chain climbing to the top of agri-food emitters. BUT WHERE DID THESE INCREASED EMISSIONS COME FROM? A look at the graph below gives us an indication: world poverty rate decreased massively between 1950 and today. While COVID brought a setback, the historical data would clearly indicate a correla- (a) Long term trend of anthropogenic CO2 emissions sources 3 Gt 1850 CO2 emissions (GtCO2 yr -1) 93% 68% 31% Cement Flaring Oil Coal Gas LULUCF 34% 14% 32% 49% 13% 18% 33% 1900 1950 1990 2019 40 30 20 10 0 6 Gt 12 Gt 28 Gt 43 Gt 4% 33% 1% 18% 29% 15% Source: IPCC AR6 Report, 2023.
