Agricultural sector is both energy consumer in the form of human labor, fossil fuels, electricity, seeds, fertilizer, and pesticides and energy producer in the form of food, feed, and biofuels. High agricultural use of energy inputs results in adverse environmental issues such as global climate change, pollution of water, soil and air, and unsustainable agricultural production. In this study, 35 agricultural crops such as cereals, fruits, and vegetables were evaluated in terms of consumption of diesel fuel during their production process including soil preparation, fertilization, sowing, spraying, harvesting and transportation, based on minimum and maximum values reported in related literature. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from diesel consumption can be expressed as total carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq) emissions (2.76 kg per liter). a map showing total CO2eq emissions from diesel consumption for agricultural production. Our estimates showed that minimum and maximum GHG emissions varied between 0.48 and 3.75 Tg CO2eq for wheat, 17.15 and 65.45 Gg CO2eq for chickpea, and 0.088 and 0.153 Tg CO2eq for tomatoes, respectively. In order to reduce diesel-related GHG emissions, there is an urgent need for innovative agricultural practices and technologies to be put into place.

“…Agriculture is modeled as a continuous process where the non-renewable inputs are chemical fertilizers, water, seed and carbon dioxide, and the outputs are grain and straw [50,51,52]. For both wheat and rye agriculture, the same agro-chemicals, i.e., herbicide dicamba, insecticide methomyl and the fungicide thiram [21,22,53] and the same amount of seeds, 227.7 kg/ha, are assumed to be used [54] both in Turkey and Germany.…”

Energy and exergy efficiencies of the wheat and rye bread and hamburger bun making processes are assessed based on data from Turkey and Germany. Amount of the land required to produce the same amount of wheat in Turkey is 3.34 times of that required in Germany; this ratio is 2.30 for the rye grain. These results show that the efficiency of the conversion of the solar energy into the grain mass is low in Turkey. Cumulative degree of perfection (CDP) for the wheat and the rye grain production is 3.73 and 4.96 in Turkey, and 11.26 and 10.46 in Germany. Specific energy utilization for rye bread production is almost the same in Turkey and Germany; but it is 12 % higher in Turkey for wheat bread and hamburger bun making. Hamburger bun production requires the maximum energy utilization due to the higher weight loss in baking. The rye bread production process requires the minimum energy utilization due to the lower energy input in the agriculture and higher efficiency in the flour production. The maximum exergy destructions occur during the milling and the baking steps.Keywords: Bread making, energy efficiency, exergy efficiency, carbon dioxide emission Correspondence: mozilgen@yeditepe.edu.tr 2 Highlights• Agriculture determines the energy and exergy efficiency of bread making• Conversion efficiency of the solar energy into grain mass is lower in Turkey• The smallest energy and exergy is needed for the rye bread making• The largest energy and exergy is needed for the hamburger bun making• Energy efficiency per mass of bread production is 12 % higher in Germany 3

In this study, the energy balance and Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) of cotton cultivation in Bismil district of Diyarbakır province in Turkey was defined. The energy balance and GHG of cotton cultivation was computed by conducting face to face surveys with 73 farms in the 2018-2019 cultivation season, which were selected by simple random sampling method. The energy input and output in cotton cultivation were computed as 54 617.62 MJ ha -1 and 65 984.42 MJ ha -1 , respectively. Energy inputs occurs of electricity energy with 18 608.40 MJ ha -1 (34.06%), chemical fertilizers energy with 15 254.67 MJ ha -1 (27.93%), diesel fuel energy with 14 364.68 (26.30%), irrigation water energy with 3 559.50 MJ ha -1 (6.53%), machinery energy with 1 152.79 MJ ha -1 (2.11%), chemicals energy with 1 075.76 MJ ha -1 (1.96%), seed energy with 307.98 MJ ha -1 (0.57%), human labour energy with 293.84 MJ ha -1 (0.54%), respectively. Total energy inputs in cotton cultivation can be classified as 67.43% direct, 32.57% indirect, 7.62% renewable and 92.38% non-renewable. Energy use efficiency, specific energy, energy productivity and net energy in cotton cultivation were computed as 1.21, 9.77 MJ kg -1 , 0.10 kg MJ -1 and 11 366.80 MJ ha -1 , respectively. Total GHG emissions were computed as 6 482.36 kgCO2-eqha -1 for cotton cultivation with the greatest input part for electricity with 47.94% (3 107.60 kgCO2-eqha -1 ). The electricity followed up nitrogen with 16.29% (1 055.67 kgCO2-eqha -1 ), irrigation water with 14.82% (960.50 kgCO2-eqha -1 ), diesel fuel with 10.86% (704.08 kgCO2-eqha -1 ), seed with 3.07% (199.14 kgCO2-eqha -1 ), chemicals with 2.28% (147.76 kgCO2-eqha -1 ), phosphorous with 1.78% (115.64 kgCO2-eqha -1 ), human labour with 1.62% (104.94 kgCO2-eqha -1 ), machinery with 1.26% (81.85 kgCO2-eqha -1 ) and potassium with 0.08% (5.18 kgCO2-eqha -1 ), respectively. Additionally, GHG ratio value was computed as 1.16 kgCO2-eqkg -1 in cotton cultivation.
