Methodological sheet of the indicator available for the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country.
Available indicator |
Ammonia emissions from agriculture and livestock (EU indicator sdg_02_60) |
---|---|
Target |
2.4 By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality |
Goal |
2- End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture |
Definition |
Available series: - Ammonia (NH3) emissions from agriculture and livestock - Ammonia (NH3) emissions from agriculture and livestock per hectare: Ammonia (NH3) emissions from agriculture and livestock farming per hectare of cropland, meadows and pastures |
Theoretical formula |
Ammonia (NH3) emissions from agriculture and livestock \[ENH3_{agriculture\, and\, livestock}^{t} = ENH3_{agriculture}^{t} + ENH3_{livestock}^{t}\]where: $ENH3_{agriculture}^{t}$ = NH3 emmisions from agriculture in the year $t$ $ENH3_{livestock}^{t}$ = NH3 emmisions from livestock in the year $t$ Ammonia (NH3) emissions from agriculture and livestock per hectare \[ENH3S_{agriculture\, and\, livestock}^{t} = \frac{ENH3_{agriculture}^{t} + ENH3_{livestock}^{t}}{S_{cropland}^{t} + S_{meadows\, and\, pastures}^{t}}\]where: $ENH3_{agriculture}^{t}$ = NH3 emmisions from agriculture in the year $t$ $ENH3_{livestock}^{t}$ = NH3 emmisions from livestock in the year $t$ $S_{cropland}^{t}$ = croplands area in year $t$ $S_{meadows\, and\, pastures}^{t}$ = meadows and pastures area in year $t$ |
