“…The decomposition of bird's fecal material produces unpleasant and polluted gases, which include ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen sulphide. These gases are of particular interest because of their adverse effects on the performance of birds, cages, human poultry houses and the environment at large [16,18,[34][35][36][37][38]. Consequently, for optimum production for chicken a concentration level of 25 ppm and not more than 2500 ppm for ammonia and carbon dioxide was recommended [18,39].…”

Majority of the people in the poorest regions of the tropics rely on poultry production as their major source of protein supply. However, poultry production is hindered by the harsh environmental conditions in this regions therefore, reducing the daily supply of protein. It is believed that understanding heat stress in birds by paying detail attention to the sources of heat generation in a poultry house can help manage the heat stress situation in this region. This text reviews the internal climatic conditions of the poultry houses, how the birds respond to them, and their implications for heat management in poultry production. Thus, it provides pertinent information for guidance on parameters for open poultry houses architectural design that ensures optimum climatic conditions that will alleviate heat stress problem in poultry production in hot and humid climate.

“…70 Application of HTC in China has already begun; an HTC plant that processes 14 000 tonnes of sewage sludge per year is operated in Jining. 71 However, Asia has been exploring the HTC processing of alternative wastes compared to the UK, such as waste textiles (China's), 98 coconut bre and eucalypts leaves (Singapore) 39 and seaweed (Japan and Indonesia) 29 due to the high production potential of both biomass sources there.…”

“…Research identies that increased atmospheric GHG emissions are the cause of many negative global impacts, such as ocean acidication, melting of polar ice caps and glaciers, rising sea levels and sea temperature, global warming and agricultural impacts, etc. 98 Therefore, when comparing the two sources of energy, hydrochar is favourable when aiming to achieve sustainable future development. Alongside this, local production of hydrochar for energy applications can lead to reduction of carbon footprint (carbon emissions), as fossil fuel imports are reduced.…”

“…The grave implications of climate change to humans and the ecosystems has remained a source of concern to research scholars, as well as generating public debates. The greenhouse effect is considered the lead contributor to global warming because it is a natural process that significantly increases the temperature of the earth surface through the accumulation of atmospheric heat ( Apergis and Payne, 2009 ; Ozturk, 2010 ; Kweku et al, 2018 ; Alola, 2019a , Alola, 2019b ; Alola et al., 2019a , Alola et al., 2019b ). This has continued especially with incessant rise in agricultural mechanization ( Olasehinde-Williams et al, 2020 ).…”

The increasing concern of environmental degradation and climate change impacts of agricultural-based activities are becoming more pronounced in the Sub-Sahara region of Africa especially due to urgent drive to meeting food, healthy diet, and economic needs. In retrospect. This novel study explores the relationship between agro-economic performance, the Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Total natural rent, urbanization and environmental degradation vis-à-vis (Carbon dioxide emissions) in a carbon function. The empirical analysis used a panel data for the period 1980–2014 for the selected countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The Kao test uncovers a cointegration between carbon dioxide emissions, Real Gross domestic product, Total natural rent, agriculture and urbanization. The panel Pooled Mean Autoregressive distributed lag model (PMG-ARDL) posits a positive and significant connection between the gross domestic product and CO 2 emissions in the long run. Our examination asserts that agricultural value-added reduces emissions in sub-Saharan Africa while urbanization and natural resource rent both increases CO 2 emissions in the long run. In addition, the causality analysis reveals a bidirectional link between agriculture value-added and CO 2 emissions. Essentially, policymakers in African nations must pay close attention to the issues of rural-urban drift as this leads to more emissions.
