To reach the goal of keeping global temperature rise below 2°C this century while maintaining economic growth, countries will need to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) per unit of output (emission intensity) in all sectors of the economy. For the agricultural sector, however, lowering emissions has to be accompanied by output expansion to meet increasing food demand from a growing and wealthier global population.
