Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (2017). Food and Agriculture Organization Statistics: Environment - Energy | Country: Iceland | Item: Energy used in agriculture and forestry | Element: Agriculture and forestry energy use as a % of total Energy use - %, 1971-2009. Data-Planet™ Statistical Ready Reference by Conquest Systems, Inc. [Data-file]. Dataset-ID: 067-001-047. Dataset: Provides data on energy use in agriculture and forestry as a percentage of total energy use and on bioenergy production as a percentage of total renewable energy production. Agriculture consumes energy directly for crop and livestock production (machinery, etc.) and indirectly through fertilizers and pesticides. Agriculture also produces energy as biofuels and biomass production. As an energy user, agriculture contributes to global warming (mainly through CO2 emissions, as well as CH4 and N2O emissions), air pollution (mainly through NOx and SO2 emissions) and to the depletion of fossil energy resources. Bioenergy refers to energy derived from the biological carbon fixation of plants or from biological tissues. Examples are biodiesel, derived from vegetable oils and animal fats, and bioethanol, produced by the fermentation of carbohydrates of crops like corn. The time-series and cross-sectional data provided here are from the FAOSTAT database of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Statistics include measures related to the food supply; forestry; agricultural production, prices, and investment; and trade and use of resources, such as fertilizers, land, and pesticides. As available, data are provided for approximately 245 countries and 35 regional areas from 1961 through the present. The data are typically supplied by governments to FAO Statistics through national publications and FAO questionnaires. Official data have sometimes been supplemented with data from unofficial sources and from other national or international agencies or organizations. In particular, for the European Union member countries, with the exception of Spain, data obtained from EUROSTAT have been used. Category: Natural Resources and Environment, Agriculture and Food Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Established in 1945 as a specialized agency of the United Nations, the Food and Agricultural Organization’s mandate is to raise levels of nutrition, improve agricultural productivity, better the lives of rural populations, and contribute to the growth of the world economy. Staff experts in seven FAO departments serve as a knowledge network to collect, analyze, and disseminate data, sharing policy expertise with member countries and implementing projects and programs throughout the world aimed at achieving rural development and hunger alleviation goals. The Statistics Division of the Food and Agricultural Organization collates and disseminates food and agricultural statistics globally. http://www.fao.org/ Subject: Agricultural Production, Climate Change, Forestry, Forestry and Wood Products Industry, Energy Consumption, Agriculture, Energy Production
