The carbon footprint emitted by the development of the agricultural sector is having a larger impact on global climate change because of increase strain on the supply. There is higher demand for grains for human and animal consumption, and for the production of material to use in biofuel engineering. As the strain on our agricultural sector grows, carbon sinks around the world (like rainforests) are being destroyed to make room for cropland (ie - soybean fields in Brazil). Not only does the carbon footprint grow when we invest oil and other commodities into the production of the agricultural sector, but carbon from the soils is released again into the atmosphere and causing a larger impact on the global carbon emissions. This is vicous cycle that will only be broken if we reduce our demand for agricultural commodities and exercise moderation in our use of those products for human and animal consumption, and also for the biofuels.
