Agrifood-systems emissions from FAO's FAOSTAT Emissions indicators domain (EM): each country's agrifood share of total national greenhouse-gas emissions (CO2eq AR5, plus CO2/CH4/N2O splits), its exact decomposition into Farm gate, Pre- and post-production and Land-use change, and the three FAO intensity indicators (per capita, per value of agricultural production, per area of agricultural land), ~201 countries and territories x 1990-2023, with 10-year changes, within-year ranks and deterministic row hashes. Who joins this: climate desks join the agrifood share on (area, year) to energy-CO2 panels to split national emissions between food systems and the rest of the economy; agriculture models use per-hectare and per-value intensity as emissions-cost features; development analysts read the decomposition to see where a country's food-system emissions live (Brazil's 95% agrifood share is mostly land-use change, France's 38% is mostly farm gate).

agrifood_share_10y_change_pp	float	Change in the agrifood CO2eq share vs the same country exactly 10 years earlier, percentage points (null in the first 10 years). (unit: percentage points)
agrifood_per_capita_10y_change_pct	float	Percent change in agrifood emissions per capita vs the same country exactly 10 years earlier (null in the first 10 years). (unit: percent)
agrifood_share_rank	integer	Within-year rank of the agrifood CO2eq share across all published areas (1 = largest share). (unit: rank)
agrifood_per_capita_rank	integer	Within-year rank of agrifood emissions per capita across all published areas (1 = largest). (unit: rank)
agri_dominant_flag	boolean	True when agrifood systems account for >= 50% of the country's national GHG emissions. (unit: boolean)
dominant_component	string	Which decomposition component is largest: farm_gate, pre_post or land_use_change (null when any component is unpublished). (unit: string)
row_hash	string	Deterministic 16-hex SHA-256 hash over the area, year, raw measures and the FAO flag; changes whenever any raw input cell changes. (unit: string)
