> it's like <3% in the U.S. for example, not sure about Denmark

Sure, but TFA and this discussion is about Denmark, where "...agriculture is the country’s biggest source of emissions".

Further on in TFA, "The global food system is a huge contributor to the climate crisis, producing around a third of greenhouse gas emissions", of which, "Denmark is a major dairy and pork exporter".

Even per the EPA agriculture is ~10% for the US [0]. And you say "That's all agriculture", I say "Why do you think the US grows so much shite-tasting feed corn? Some for ethanol, lots for pigs, cows, and chicken".
