The aim of the study was to produce quantitative estimates of greenhouse gas emissions (CH4, N2O and CO2) from agriculture and their spatial allocation within the country. The main source material for the study was the GUS electronic database (2009-2001). To calculate emissions original EMKAL1 program was used. The calculation algorithms in the program were based on the IPCC methodology. The mean, annual greenhouse gas emission from agriculture was 27.7 mln t CO2 eq. Emission originated in animal production was markedly higher (63,3%) than in plant production (36,7%). The biggest emitter was the cattle husbandry (81.1%), while pig production constituted only 13.9%, and the other animal species – 5.0%. Emission showed a high spatial variability. The highest total emission occurred in Podlaskie Voivodship, followed by Kujawsko-pomorskie, Wielkopolskie and Łódzkie Voivodships, while the lowest emission in Zachodnio-pomorskie and Podkarpackie Voivodships. Spatial distribution of emission is linked to a stocking rate and a structure as well as directions of animal and plant production, together with their intensity. Study results indicate the direction towards mitigation measures in agriculture to achieve emission reduction.

This paper discusses the importance of the carbon footprint for the assessment of greenhouse gas emissions generated by various production processes in the agri-food sector. The methodology of its determination based on the LCA guidelines, including GHG emissions throughout the product life cycle from “cradle to grave”, has been presented. In the light of studies to date, it turns out that greenhouse gas emissions in the systems of animal production and field crops influence significantly the carbon footprint values of the final food products. Low emission agriculture in Poland is one of the main priorities in the current PROW program for the years 2014-2020. Progress in reducing the carbon footprint of agricultural production is an important attribute of innovative development of agriculture.
