The agricultural production system is strongly influenced by several climate factors. Therefore it passively suffers or benefits from climate change. On the other hand it actively influences climate change due to two separate aspects: During most of its production steps greenhouse gases are emitted, which adversely influences the climate. However, agriculture is the producer of renewable crops which replace fossil fuels and supply industry with renewable raw material. This contributes to heavily reduced climate impacts mostly of energy and traffic sectors. To define the net effect of agriculture on climate factors, a complex analysis is necessary.
