Faits et chiffres sur le méthane et le protoxyde d’azote, deux gaz à effet de serre

Le méthane et le protoxyde d'azote sont générés par des processus biochimiques qui se produisent également dans les écosystèmes naturels. La production agricole est aussi une source de gaz à effet de serre et peut augmenter considérablement ces émissions. Mais quel est l’impact de ces gaz à effet de serre, comment se forment-ils et comment peut-on les éviter?
