Abstract: The concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has grown mainly as a result of human activity in the world. Anthropogenic CO2 emission accounts for around three-fourths of global GHG emissions. Furthermore, the development of greenhouse gas emissions is extremely associated with global warming. Approximately one-third of the global atmospheric methane emissions come from agricultural activities. In the agricultural production process, irrational activities such as inappropriate land use, the excessive application of pesticides and chemical fertilizers may lead to the release of high amounts of GHG emissions, which affect harmfully the environment. In addition, the intensity of agriculture-related factors of climate change might vary over countries and continents. The objective of the research is to explore the main agricultural-related determinants of climate change focusing on livestock farming, crop production, land use, enteric fermentation, manure management, synthetic fertilizers along with the geographical and cultural background of the pollution. The analysis was carried out on a global sample, representing the world economy.
