In 2023, the United States led global nitrous oxide emissions from agriculture, followed by Brazil and Russia. Foreseen trends reveal a minor decline in the U.S. (-0.96%) while Brazil (2.14%) and Russia (2.84%) exhibited growth. Small Eastern European and Baltic nations like Estonia and Latvia forecast notable increases, with 2.12% and 2.74% respectively. Significant shifts are observed in Eastern Europe, contrasting with moderate declines in Western Europe, exemplified by the UK (-0.85%) and France (-1.53%).
Looking forward, nations with rising agricultural intensification and land use changes, particularly in developing regions, are anticipated to contribute increasingly to global emissions. Policies and agricultural practices focusing on sustainability may counterbalance these trends.
