*'''Resources''' Some of the most interesting data for economists is found in this domain. The national distribution of land, among [[arable land]], [[pastures|pasture]] and other lands, as well as the importance of [[irrigation]] are just some of the interesting data sets.
*'''Emissions''' FAOSTAT data on [[Greenhouse gas|Greenhouse Gas]] (GHG) emissions by countries are provided within the FAOSTAT Emissions database [1,2,3], covering nearly 200 countries. GHG emissions are estimated in agreement with the default methodologies of the [[Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change]] (IPCC) 2006 Guidelines for National GHG Inventories [2]. The FAOSTAT Emissions data directly contributed to the IPCC 5th Assessment Report [3]. The GHG data are updated automatically at annual intervals. They are accessible in FAOSTAT via two separate domains: Emissions-Agriculture and Emissions-Land Use.
*'''Emissions-Agriculture''' This FAOSTAT data domain contains estimates of GHG emissions for nearly 200 countries, for the reference period 1961–present [1,2,3], following default (Tier 1) IPCC 2006 Guidelines for National GHG Inventories [4]. Emissions from agriculture comprise methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) and [[nitrous oxide]] (N<sub>2</sub>O) gases released through microbial fixation and decomposition processes in crop fields and livestock systems, in the following sub-categories:
** Enteric Fermentation
** Manure Management
