Methane emissions are still rising across the board. Major food/ag sources include livestock production, rice production, and food waste. Solutions abound in agricultural improvements, minimizing food loss/waste, and shifting high-meat diets toward plants. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Human-caused methane emissions from nearly every industry increased over the past two decades

In 2018-2020, in millions of tons of methane emissions:

Enteric fermentation and manure: 116
Oil and gas: 70
Landfills and waste: 74
Rice cultivation: 32
Coal mining: 41
Biomass burning: 18
Biofuel burning: 11
Industry: 5
Transport: 2
