High-GDP countries use a greater portion of this energy for processing and transport." "Globally, the agrifood chain consumes 30 percent of the world’s available energy – with more than 70 percent consumed beyond the farm gate." "The food sector accounts for 30% of global energy use and 22% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Improved agricultural water management can contribute to ‘energy and climate’ smart food production."
