“…Two statistical approaches were adopted: a model‐based (logistic regression) and an exploratory data analysis (hierarchical cluster analysis—HCA) . The exploratory data‐based approach made no assumptions about the mechanism by which data were generated (study design and background variables) …”

“…An outline could be applied by adopting a modified, for agricultural production, life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to assess energy use [29,63,73,74,82,83], which could involve the five stages, as shown in Figure 1. In stage 1, the goals are calculating the energy used from the production components of the different farming systems and comparing them to determine the crop or farming system with low energy inputs.…”

“…Energy consumption for the production of fertilizers, chemical products, machinery and any other that was used in agricultural production is also included as energy inputs [28]. This complementary energy contributes to the maximization of output (production) per hectare [29].…”

“…The evaluation of agroecosystems from an energy standpoint is crucial for minimizing energy inputs and improving environmental aspects of production [32]. Consequently, effective use of energy resources is vital, taking into account the need for increasing agricultural production [23,28,29]. Energy analysis is used for the estimation of energy efficiency and environmental resilience of the productive systems [33].…”

“…The products with reduced CF and WF incorporate a series of advantages for both the production system and the consumer. Compared to conventional systems, the organic and integrated production systems reduce GGE and utilize the water resources in an optimal way [20][21][22][23][24]29,42]. Reduced GGE and rational management of water resources depend on farm area [23,34,63].…”

Agriculture accounts for 5% of the entire energy used worldwide. Most of it is not in a renewable form, so it can be linked to greenhouse gas emissions. According to the Paris Agreement, on climate change, one of its major targets is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the agricultural production process must drastically change. Currently, the sustainable use of water is critical for any agricultural development. Agricultural production effects water quality and sufficiency, as well as, freshwater wetlands. Energy balance, carbon, and water footprint are crucial for sustainable agricultural production. Agroforestry systems are important in reducing high inputs of non-renewable energy and greenhouse gas emissions, along with better water use, leading to the most minimal influence on climate change. Energy analysis, carbon, and water footprint can be applied to agroforestry systems’ production. An outline could be applied by adopting a modified—for agricultural production—life cycle assessment methodology to assess energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and water consumption in agroforestry ecosystems.
