Climate change is considered to be one of the most serious global environmental, social and economic problems. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the development of renewable energy production and greenhouse gas emissions from the agriculture as the basic objective related indicators in relation to the climate change mitigation in the years 2007 –2011.During the reporting period, the production of biodiesel in Slovakia almost doubled and bioethanol production has increased more than fourfold. The total production of renewable energy from agricultural and forestry records continuous interannual growth. Production of greenhouse gases from agriculture showed a downward trend over the years 2007-2009. In the years 2010-2011 there was a renewed increase in the production of emissions; nitrous oxide from agricultural soils accounts for more than half of the emissions produced from agriculture. During the reporting period, the structure of the sources of emissions from agriculture is changing gradually. The share of methane emissions from enteric fermentation and also the share of emissions from the animal waste management decreased, while increasing the proportion of nitrous oxide emitted from agricultural soils.
