“…In the context of Pakistan, Zaman et al (2012) examined the nexus between carbon emissions and farming technology between the years 1975 and 2010 and found ecosystem CO 2 balance and land-use conversion are the responsible factors to increase CO 2 emissions. In the context of Brazil, Machado et al (2017) assessed agricultural CO 2 emissions of several ethanol food stores. In European countries, Robaina-Alves and Moutinho (2014) ascertained the particular impact of disintegration on the concentration of greenhouse gas in the agriculture sector.…”

The purpose of the research paper is to investigate the relationship between agricultural development and agricultural energydriven CO 2 emissions. To achieve this purpose, we have taken Bangladesh as the subject of our case study, and appraisal is done by two methods, the Tapio decoupling method, and the logarithmic mean Divisia index method. The result discloses that Bangladesh's agricultural sector was strongly and weakly decoupled from agricultural sector development in most of the periods between 1990 and 2017. The population factor, the agricultural energy intensity factor, and the agricultural economic activity factor are the responsible factors to increase CO 2 emissions. On the other hand, the agricultural economic structure factor, the agricultural energy structure factor, and the agricultural emissions factor are accountable for the decrease of CO 2 emissions. Finally, this paper provides some policies to create practical strategies for agricultural CO 2 emission reduction. This research paper will help Bangladesh's agricultural sector to form sustainable economic development.

“…A major concern is that using crops in large-scale production of bioethanol will divert food to the energy sector. It is feared that this competition will increase food prices and contribute to the scarcity of available products as the world population grows [121,122]. As production of biofuel expands, the materials used must be based on non-food sources such as byproducts, waste, or agricultural losses to remain economically viable and sustainable.…”

Although wheat (Triticum aestivum) and related cereals [Barley (Hordeum vulgare), Rye (Secale cereale) are primarily used for producing baked goods and beverages, cereal crops can be used to create many value-added goods beyond these traditional products. Fractionation of cereal grains and extraction of valuable phytochemicals allows greater access to materials for use in food additives and nutritional supplements. Fermentation for beverage and fuel bioethanol production results in not only renewable fuel, but also a range of other coproducts, including nootropics. In addition to traditional grain fermentation, straw fermentation is also discussed, which further utilizes the whole plant. The main by-product of cereal grain fermentation, wheat stillage, can undergo a range of processes to enhance its value as a animal feeds, as well as extraction of useful compounds. These methods provide a glimpse of the many sequential and divergent processes that may bring us closer to realizing the full potential of wheat and related cereal grains.

“…(2) the production aspect-that is, ensuring the productivity of farming systems, as well as the quality, safety, supply, and accessibility of food production; and (3) the life-based aspect-that is, enhancing the quality of life of farmers, farm workers, and society as a whole. Therefore, the ecological function of organic agricultural systems can help overcome problems associated with food, energy sources, and climate [21][22][23], while also providing important benefits for human health and the environment [24].…”

Rural Tourism and Environmental Sustainability—A Study on a Model for Assessing the Developmental Potential of Organic Agritourism

In light of the public’s increasing awareness of and desire to create healthy and friendly environments, developments in organic agriculture and organic agricultural products have gradually yielded optimum choices in terms of healthy diets, travel options, and lifestyles, in addition to winning considerable attention and popularity from the public. This study was centered on a model for assessing the developmental potential of organic agritourism, with empirical analyses being conducted regarding visitors to Yuli Township in Hualien County, Taiwan. The results were as follows. By means of on-site interviews and surveys, as well as a review of relevant literature, this study constructed several assessment indicators of the developmental potential of organic agritourism. The constructed model consisted of four criteria, namely, the attractiveness of resources, market development potential, community development capabilities, and the creation of diverse values, as well as 23 sub-criteria. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) approach was employed, and a questionnaire with expert validity was used to deduce the weights of each criterion and sub-criterion. The highest-weighted criterion was the attractiveness of resources, followed by, in order, the creation of diverse values, market development potential, and community development capabilities. The results of this study can serve as a reference for Yuli Township in developing strategies to promote organic agritourism in the area.
