145875 emissions_intensity_prod   Emissions intensity of agricultural production is measured as the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced per unit of agricultural output. It's measured in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents (kgCO₂e) per 1000 kilocalories of food. 2021-02-16 10:04:23 2023-06-15 05:05:42       PALE factors of food production (Hong et al.

145873 land_intensity_prod   Land use intensity measures the amount of land needed to produce a given output. It is the inverse of crop yield, and calculated by dividing agricultural land use (in hectares) by food production (measured in kilocalories). 2021-02-16 10:04:23 2023-06-15 05:05:42       PALE factors of food production (Hong et al.

145868 total_emissions   Annual greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. This includes land use change and emissions from agricultural production (including fertilisers, manure, enteric fermentation from livestock, methane from rice etc.).
