摘要：Greenhouse gas emission is a global ecological challenge since it affects climate change and complicatesproviding food security. Each country ought to care about mitigating greenhouse gas emissions including CH4and N2O originated from agriculture. In this context, first, the performed research focused on Ukrainian rankingamong the world greenhouse gas emitters offering a multi-criteria evaluation of total greenhouse gas quantities in CO2 equivalent, per capita and per km2 of countries’ land territories. These indictors were also appliedto visual comparing involvement of Ukrainian economy and its agriculture in the international greenhouse gasemissions. Second, to explore agricultural greenhouse gas emission at the domestic level, we studied regionalcontributions by basic source categories such as enteric fermentation, manure management, and synthetic fertilizers. The proposed horizontal and vertical analyses allow clarifying regional management prioritiesin reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Third, for this purpose, the conducted investigation specified the EUMember States which match the Ukrainian condition by shares of greenhouse gas emissions and outputs inanimal and crop sectors. The found patterns will be the most reliable vectors of adopting effective agriculturalpractices beneficial for the environment protection and mitigating influence over climate change.
