Food and Agriculture Organization (UN)

Overview

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is a United Nations agency leading an international effort to increase food security and nutrition standards across 130+ countries. The FAOSTAT database reports greenhouse gas emissions data related to agriculture, forestry, and other land use activities.

Example topics covered:

• Total emissions generated from agrifood systems

• Emissions associated with crop processes including rice cultivation and burning of crop residues

• Emissions from livestock

• Emissions from land use including forests, fires, and drained organic soils

• Intensity of emissions by agricultural commodity

We check periodically for changes to the underlying source and, upon detecting a change, propagate the data to Snowflake Marketplace immediately. See our release process for more details.

Notes

EAV Model: All Cybersyn products follow the EAV (entity, attributes, value) model with a unified schema. Entities are tangible objects (e.g. geography, company) that Cybersyn provides data on. All timeseries' dates and values that refer to the entity are included in a timeseries table. Descriptors of the timeseries are included in an attributes table. Data is joinable across all Cybersyn products that have a GEO_ID. Refer to Cybersyn Concepts for more details.

• The FOOD_AGRICULTURE_ORGANIZATION_ATTRIBUTES table details each agricultural and/or emissions variable tracked by greenhouse gas type and agricultural product

• The FOOD_AGRICULTURE_ORGANIZATION_TIMESERIES table provides historical values on an annual basis for each tracked variable
