Global land use
• 38% of the land surface (total area) is agricultural land • 11% is arable land • 70-80% of the agricultural land is used for animal production • 33% of the arable land is used for fodder production • 50-60% of the grain produced in EU is used for feed

Nitrous oxide emissions from arable lands
• Nitrous oxide emissions depend on amount of N in the soil, access to oxygen, SOC, temperature etc. • Large uncertainties– approx. 1% of added N • Nitrous oxide 300 times stronger GHG than carbon dioxide

Is organic better?
”Organic food is not more
climate friendly”
• Approx. the same climate
impact per kg product
but...
• No pesticides
• Improves the nutrient cycling
• Better animal care
• More biodiversity
Organic farming is an important initiative for a more sustainable
Agriculture, but not the whole solution to the problem!

Bread or fuel– Is that a relevant question?
• 70% of the arable land is used for animal production globally • 1-2% of the arable land is used for biofuels
A more relevant question would be: –Meat, fuel or organic
?
