“…The present study's findings revealed that increasing soil carbon sequestration in agroforestry systems has enormous potential as a mitigation strategy for climate change in Bangladesh. Our findings are supported by several studies [30][31][32][33][34][35][36] that reported that carbon management through absorbing atmospheric CO2 by agricultural and forest land could increase the climate change mitigation potential while increasing the carbon stock. Therefore, the negative effects of global warming and climate change on the environment and human health [37][38][39][40] can be reduced by lowering emissions through practicing and encouraging appropriate agroforestry systems.…”

The study was carried out in three different locations in Dinajpur district, Bangladesh，to observe soil carbon sequestration in agroforestry systems as a mitigation strategy for climate change. A total of 108 composite soil samples were collected at 0-30 cm in different study area sites. The total number of samples comprised three agroforestry systems (cropland agroforestry, homestead agroforestry, and orchard agroforestry)， where 36 samples were collected from each agroforestry system. Three adjacent soil samples were collected from each agroforestry system and mixed to get composite soil samples. The outcomes revealed that the soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil organic matter (SOM) changes over the age of the orchard. Moreover, the results indicated that there are significant differences among the systems. The highest SOC (1.60%) was found in Eucalyptus woodlot-based agroforestry system，and the lowest SOC (0.29%) was found in the Mahogany woodlot-based agroforestry system although both organic carbon and organic matter are deficient compared to the optimum level. Furthermore, in the case of soil pH, the highest value (5.45) was recorded under the Mango tree，while the lowest value (5.12) was recorded under the Mahogany tree. Based on the findings, the study determined that all the collected samples were acidic. The investigation concluded that most species of homestead agroforestry systems provide maximum SOC and SOM as compared to cropland and orchard. The present study provides significant recommendations for soil carbon enrichment and environmental safety practices in the agroforestry systems to mitigate climate change through soil carbon management.

“…In Azerbaijan, an increase in agricultural GDP reduced CO 2 during the 1992-2014 period using the ARDL bounds test method [34]. Using cointegration methods an inverse relationship was observed between agricultural productivity and CO 2 in Bangladesh from 1972 to 2018 [35]. A study also assessed the validity of the agriculturalinduced environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) on the top ten agricultural countries for the period 1997-2016 using an augmented mean group (AMG) estimator and found that agriculture reduces CO 2 emissions in most countries [36].…”

One of the most affected economies by climate change is the agricultural sector. Climate change measured by temperature and precipitation has an impact on agricultural output, which in turn affects the economy of the sector. It is anticipated that using renewable energy will lower carbon emissions that are directly related to climate change. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2), renewable energy usage, and climate change on South Africa’s agricultural sector from 1972 to 2021. The nexus was estimated using an Auto Regressive-Distributed Lag (ARDL) Bounds test econometric technique. In the short run, findings indicated that climate change reduces agricultural economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions increase as agricultural economic growth increases. The use of renewable energy was insignificant in the short and long run. Carbon dioxide emissions granger causes temperature and renewable energy unilateral. An ARDL analysis was performed to evaluate the short and long-term relationship between agricultural economic growth, climate change, carbon dioxide emissions and renew able energy usage. The study adds new knowledge on the effects of climate change and carbon emissions on the agricultural economy alongside the use of renewable energy which can be used to inform economic policy on climate change and the energy nexus in the agricultural sector. Study findings point to the prioritization of biomass commercialization, rural and commercial farming sector bioenergy regulations and socioeconomic imperatives research is crucial in order to promote inclusive participation in the production of renewable energy.

“…Gokmenoglu and Taspinar ( 2018 ) tested the agriculture-led environmental pollution hypothesis in Pakistan using data from 1971 to 2014 and affirmed the existence of the hypothesis in the country. In Bangladesh, Raihan et al ( 2022 ) recorded an exacerbation effect between agricultural production and environmental pollution. Raihan and Tuspekova ( 2022 ) used a dataset between 1990 and 2018 for Peru and found that agricultural land expansion promotes emissions.…”

A lot of attention has been paid to environmental pollution worldwide, due to the increase in anthropogenic activities. Massive investment in non-renewable energy options raises questions regarding environmental sustainability and how to maximize food and non-food output while still preserving a healthy ecosystem. To this end, the present study explores the three-way nexus between economic growth, CO 2 emission, and agriculture-value added will accounting for other control variables across a balanced panel of selected African economies from 1997 to 2020. Panel econometrics method of the generalized method of moments (two-step difference GMM) is used to obtain a robust result. From the present study, the environmental pollution model shows that economic growth significantly contributes to environmental pollution in Africa. Additionally, the food price index, capital, and FDI promote pollution, while agricultural production and labor decrease pollution. In the case of the economic growth model, the findings reveal that environmental pollution supports the growth-led pollution hypothesis. Also, the food price index and capital ameliorate economic growth, while foreign direct investments decrease economic growth. Finally, the agricultural production model indicates that economic growth increases agricultural production when the interaction term between GDPC and FDI is included in the model. In summary, the combination of explanatory variables, environmental pollution, capital, and foreign direct investment decreases agricultural production. On the contrary, the food price index and labor promote agricultural production in Africa. Furthermore, the study provides a lot of policies for authorities and stakeholders in Sub-Saharan African countries and other developing economies.
