| Accuracy in estimates of GHG emissions depend on the accuracy of activity data and emission factors as well as on the choice of methodology. FAOSTAT emission estimates are based on standard IPCC methodology and emission factors at Tier 1 (reckoned the simplest of methods). Inaccuracy may be due to, inter alia, genericity of algorithms, natural variability, partitioning fractions, lack of spatial or temporal coverage, spatial aggregation. See 11.2 and 20.5 In the case of crop residues, more detailed information is available in the guidelines (IPCC, 2006: Vol.4, Ch. 11, Section 11.2.1.4 for direct emissions, and Section 11.2.2.4 for indirect emissions).

| Article I of FAO constitution states "The Organization shall collect, analyse, interpret and disseminate information relating to nutrition, food and agriculture (the term “agriculture†and its derivatives includes forestry, fisheries and aquaculture). The first session of the FAO Conference in 1945 provided the rationale: “If FAO is to carry out its work successfully it will need to know where and why hunger and malnutrition exist, what forms they take, and how widespread they are. Such data will serve as a basis for making plans, determining the efficacy of measures used, and measuring progress from time to time.†| 1 |

| The FAOSTAT domain Emissions from Crops provides estimates of emissions associated with crop processes, namely Crop residues, Burning of crop residues, and Rice cultivation and the application of nitrogen (N) fertilizers, including mineral and chemical fertilizers, to soils. Estimates are computed at Tier 1 following the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 2006). | 1 |
