Why does this Öko-Institut care about reducing emissions in farming?

https://mastodon.social/@oekoinstitut/111782856110691806

According to https://www.mdr.de/wissen/deutschland-top-fuenf-klima-emissionen-100.html emissions of farming is negligible. Even if they change anything, probably with great effort, they wouldn't change anything. They are the least who need to care.

Yes, and Germany will probably not be too dissimilar. The difference in magnitude here comes from just looking at directly emitted CO² vs all greenhouse gase emissolns in general. If you add all those up, methane emissions particularly, the picture becomes a very different one. This is also what the oeko institur is talking about their post (emissions from lifestock), so it makes sense to care about that.
