“…According to our findings, it is concluded that crop biomass can be effectively recycled and crop yield can be increased with higher water productivity under CA, providing a sustainable and socially adaptive alternative to crop residue burning (Meena et al, 2021). Furthermore, residual crop management and reduced tillage strategies can increase energy efficiency in chickpea cultivation (Ghasemi et al, 2022). Therefore, CA, based on the principles of reduced tillage or NT and retention of residues on the soil surface to preserve soil cover, is promoted as an energy‐efficient management strategy to solve environmental problems (Lu & Lu, 2017).…”

“…Our research shows that the benefit of conservation tillage in energy savings is also related to the reduced need for irrigation compared to CT. The introduction of highly efficient irrigation technologies reduces energy consumption in chickpea cultivation (Ghasemi et al, 2022). In conservation tillage approaches, constructive changes in soil properties and a new chickpea cultivation ecology significantly reduced irrigation needs in chickpea crops (Gathala et al, 2019).…”

The identification of suitable conservation agricultural (CA) practices plays a significant role in global food security. A 3-year (2018-2020) field experiment was conducted in Vertisols of the semi-arid tropics of central India to investigate the effects of CA practices and irrigation methods on the yield, water productivity (WP) and energetics of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). A split-split plot design was used with three treatments, namely, two irrigation methods (sprinkler and furrow), three residue loads (30%, 60% and 100%) and three planting methods (broad-bed shaper-cum-planter [BBSP], zero-till planter and seed-cum-fertilizer drill) with three replications each. Sprinkler irrigation significantly improved chickpea seed yield by 2% and 5% in the second (1566 kg ha À1 ) and third years (1555 kg ha À1 ) compared to furrow irrigation.During the three experimental years, the WP of chickpeas under sprinkler irrigation was significantly higher ( p < 0.05) by 31%, 34% and 35% compared to that under furrow irrigation. Irrigation (6027 MJ ha À1 ), fertilization (1805 MJ ha À1 ) and planting (1615 MJ ha À1 ) accounted for 63%-68% of the total energy input in chickpea production. Under CA practices, it is recommended that higher returns be achieved using BBSP and a 100% residue load with sprinkler irrigation.

Globalization is a worldwide trend, and environmental governance requires global cooperation. There are environmental issues caused by globalization, such as "environmental justice" and "externalization of cost." However, several key questions remain about the impact of globalization on the environment. This article attempts to decompose the comprehensive environmental efficiency and analyze their inner relationship its determinants. This study adopts range adjusted measure network data envelopment analysis (DEA) model to measure the overall efficiency and decompose comprehensive efficiency into two stages and investigate the interrelationship among them, based on the data from 30 cities along the Yangtze River. This can reveal the "black box" of the DEA and the interrelationship between each stage. The panel quantile method is adopted to analyze the impact of influencing factors, especially globalization, on efficiency. This article creatively builds the in-depth openness index to measure the tendency of indepth openness. The following findings are identified: (1) Among sub-stages, environmental governance efficiency plays a more significant role in comprehensive environmental efficiency. (2) Foreign direct investment, urbanization, and industrial structure negatively influence efficiency, while the degree of openness, per capita GDP, and population density are positive determinants. (3) With the decrease of the HUANG index, the impact of globalization on the local environment shifted from supporting the pollution halo hypothesis toward supporting the pollution haven hypothesis. (4) Sustainability with harmony between humans and nature is recommended and can be achieved. The result of this study can help policymakers to find an effective way to achieve sustainability and improve the environmental efficiency effectively.

Environmental Life Cycle Assessment in Organic and Conventional Rice Farming Systems: Using a Cradle to Farm Gate Approach

et al. 2022

The rising demand for agricultural products and expanding public awareness of environmental friendliness have led to the adoption of the organic farming system rather than the conventional one. The life cycle assessment (LCA) concept is a frequently used method to examine the environmental impacts of any activity across its entire life cycle. This research is the first use of LCA for the impacts of vermicompost and cattle manure as organic fertilizers in rice farming. The main goal of this study was to compare the environmental impacts of conventional and organic rice farming. This paper uses midpoint attributional LCA to analyze environmental damages during rice production. The four primary harm categories used in this strategy to categorize the environmental effects were: (1) climate change, (2) human health, (3) ecosystem quality, and (4) resources. The inventory data for the agricultural stage were obtained through farmer interviews. The system boundaries were set to cradle to farm gate, and 1 ton of final product (dry matter) was used as the functional unit. The results show that in all main damage categories, except for particulate matter formation, stratospheric ozone depletion, mineral resource scarcity, and freshwater eutrophication, conventional rice production has higher environmental impacts than organic rice production. Overall, organic rice production is more effective in diminishing the negative environmental effects of farming compared to conventional rice production.
