“…To this end, he identified the guiding factors for the regionalization of mitigation action needs, and thus developed the regionalization of these needs and the typology of different regions. e approach also identifies areas where mitigation actions are most urgently needed, and directions for mitigation actions in specific types of areas [4]. Fu discussed the low-carbon development path of modern agricultural parks based on the topological layout of green forests.…”

The application of fertilizers can increase the yield of crops. Nano-fertilizer is a nano-organic fertilizer, which is an organic fertilizer with very fine particles. The effect of chemical fertilizers is better than that of general chemical fertilizers, which can effectively improve soil organic matter and is beneficial to the growth of crops. Organic fertilizers mainly refer to commercial organic fertilizers produced by high-temperature composting and fermentation of organic solid wastes such as livestock and poultry manure, crop straw, etc., eliminating toxic and harmful substances and being rich in nutrients including organic acids and peptides. Low-carbon economy refers to an economic model that uses various means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve good ecological operations under the guidance of the concept of sustainable development. With the increase in the global population and the continuous growth of the economic scale, environmental problems and consequences caused by the use of conventional energy such as fossil energy are constantly recognized by people. Under this background, the low-carbon economy emerges as the times require. This paper aims to study the application of nano-enhanced fertilizers in the development of agricultural low-carbon economy in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. In today’s low-carbon economy, the combination of nano-efficiency fertilizers and agricultural production is conducive to improving the utilization rate of chemical fertilizers and reducing carbon emissions. This paper analyzes the carbon sink capacity of farmland ecosystems and the elements affecting the growth of LCA. This provides a basis for the exploration of farmland ecosystems. It expounds the relevant concepts of low-carbon economy and briefly discusses the agricultural carbon emissions in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. The experimental results in this paper show that the enteric fermentation of dairy cows will produce 60 kg of methane and 15 kg of feces. Sheep enteric fermentation produces 4 kg of methane and fecal emissions of 0.13 kg. According to the data, the carbon emission of dairy cows is much greater than that of sheep.

“…Therefore, there are many actions that farmers can take to reduce emissions. These include increasing carbon sequestration in the soil (West and Marland 2002;Norse 2012;Reay 2020;Xiao et al 2021); reducing the use of mineral fertilizers and replacing them with recycled fertilizers (Kytta et al 2021), as well as using fertilizer appropriately and decreasing energy intensity (Solinas et al 2021), and decreasing the use of mineral pesticides while introducing integrated pest management (Piwowar 2021); lowering the overuse and misuse of nitrogen (Norse 2012); reducing energy consumption and increasing energy efficiency (Piwowar 2019); replacing fossil fuels by renewable energy sources (Dogan and Seker 2016a;Eyuboglu andEzar 2020, Paramati et al 2018); and improving animal feeding techniques and animal husbandry systems as well as designing and using energy-efficient livestock buildings (Kistowski and Wiśniewski 2020). It is also important to optimize animal nutrition and efficient waste management, which have a positive impact on reducing emissions.…”

“…This may be related to the fact that low-carbon farming requires capital expenditures: investing in thermal insulation of buildings, and buying more energy-efficient machinery, more precise fertilizers, and more efficient crop protection products. Based on research on GHG emissions in Polish agriculture, Kistowski and Wiśniewski ( 2020 ) stressed the need to design and use energy-efficient livestock buildings. In turn, Wan et al ( 2013 ) addressed the issue of optimizing technology in order to move to low-carbon agriculture.…”

Because of global environmental problems, low-carbon agriculture has gained increasing importance both in developed and developing countries. Hence, there is a need to find ways to develop more efficient agricultural systems. The purpose of this article is to identify the drivers of low-carbon agriculture on farms in the Wielkopolska region (in Poland). We aimed to take an original approach to investigate low-carbon agriculture with a unique set of different economic and environmental variables and contribute to the literature, which is not very extensive in terms of microeconomic research, including research on farmers in the Wielkopolska region. Therefore, we employed a multiple-factor measurement model for structural equation modeling (SEM) of data collected individually from 120 farms in 2020. As a result, we formulated the following conclusions: the increasing productivity of factors (land, labor, and capital) have a positive effect on low-carbon farming, just as increasing fertilizer and energy efficiency. Moreover, thermal insulation is also important for low-carbon agriculture, with efficiency of fertilizer use being the most important factor. We believe that the issues of farm use of fertilizers and thermal insulation of buildings should be more broadly included in energy policy, both at the national and the European Union (EU) levels. Some of these factors however are already present in the common agricultural policy (CAP) for 2021–2027.

“…However, passing from a global level to a municipal one, the relevance of each sector can vary significantly, due to the extreme heterogeneity that characterizes different municipalities and, in general, small areas and communities across the globe. In fact, there are areas where the agricultural sector covers a large percentage of the overall GHG emission [19,20]. While at a global scale an overall reduction of the emission linked to the energy sector could have on average a high significance, local actions on the agricultural sector and industrial processes and product use (IPPU) might be as relevant as the energy sectors, since the related GHG emission covers a significant share, too (around 24% [16]).…”

Sub-National Scale Initiatives for Climate Change Mitigation: Refining the Approach to Increase the Effectiveness of the Covenant of Mayors

et al. 2022

Climate change mitigation strategies include sub-national initiatives proposed and operated by municipalities. An example of such initiatives is the Covenant of Mayors, the signatories of which are requested to compile territorial greenhouse gas emission inventories to identify entry points for mitigating policies and to be able to monitor their effectiveness over time. However, the current accounting approach presents some limitations, providing an incomplete picture of the territorial emissive status, thus hampering the mitigation potential of the set of measures. The present study shows that the current approach required by the Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP) guidelines for compiling the Baseline Emission Inventory (BEI) can be complemented with the accounting guidelines proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in order to fill existing gaps and provide a comprehensive picture from a different point of view. The proposed refinement demonstrates that local administrative bodies can count on a tool able to provide detailed and accurate information, stimulate knowledge and awareness, and optimize local mitigation efforts sometimes limited by the application of large scale (national) top-down initiatives.
