he carbon footprint of crop production on the lands of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine under crops of wheat, maize, sunflower seeds, rapeseed, soy beans, sugar beets, potatoes and vegetables were determined using the UN IPCC methodology. An increase in the carbon footprint of crop production in Ukraine during 1990–2021 was revealed, which is associated with a high level of nitrogen input from mineral fertilizers to the soil and mineralization of humus. In Ukraine, during 1990‒2021, a high level of humus mineralization was observed on the agricultural lands under crops of wheat, maize, sunflower seed, rapeseed, soy bean, sugar beet, potatoes, and vegetables ‒ 8‒1998 kg/ha/year with emitted into the air from 0.2 to 63.0 Tg of CO₂/year. The average CO₂ emissions from agricultural land per 1 Mg of main production of studied crops of Ukraine during 1990‒2021 were 46‒1109 kg and N₂O emissions were 33‒452 kg CO₂-eq., respectively. Among the studied crops, the highest emissions of CO₂ per unit of production due to the mineralization of humus are for the cultivation of sunflower seeds ‒ 1109 kg/Mg/year, maize ‒ 868 and rapeseed ‒ 531 kg/Mg/year, and the lowest emissions for the cultivation of vegetables ‒ 46 kg/Mg/year (2021). The highest N₂O emissions from agricultural land per unit of production for the cultivation of rapeseed ‒ 452 kg CO₂-eq./Mg/year, sunflower seeds ‒ 368 and soy beans ‒ 300 kg CO₂-eq./Mg/year, and the lowest emissions for the cultivation of vegetables and sugar beet ‒ 33 kg CO₂-eq./Mg/year (2021). According to the prognosis, this tendency will lead not only to an increase in GHG emissions, but also to soil depletion and a decrease in the country’s food security. By 2035, the average level of humus mineralization will be about 2200 kg/ha/year (R² = 0.725), CO₂ emissions per unit of the main production of crops will be about 800 kg of CO₂ per 1 Mg of production per year (R² = 0.657) and emissions of N₂O from agricultural land per 1 Mg of main production of crops will be about 200 kg CO₂-eq./year (R² = 0.0591).
