“…The dissimilarity in outcomes may be due to the fact that they used CO2 emissions as a proxy in their investigation, whereas we opted for the EF. This comment is supported by the fact that Selcuk et al [29] attested to the EKC theory for Nigeria in their research employing the ecological footprint approach. Findings uncovered that the nexus between EF and GDP pursues a U-shaped path in Indonesia, which differs from the results of Sugiawan and Managi's [34] study.…”

“…The member states comprising BNIVMT have been scrutinized based on the ECK theory, both on a country and a group basis. Selcuk et al [29] analyzed the next eleven countries, including Bangladesh, Nigeria, Mexico, Turkey, Indonesia, and Vietnam, and authenticated the EKC for the rst four countries. Onafowora and Owoye [30] analyzed a mixed country group, including Nigeria and Mexico, and the EKC hypothesis was unsupported in Nigeria and Mexico.…”

This study delves into the validity of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) and Load Capacity Curve (LCC) hypotheses as well as the effect of energy consumption (EC) and urbanization (URBAN) on the environment in BNIVMT countries (Bangladesh, Nigeria, Indonesia, Vietnam, Mexico, and Turkey) for the years 1990–2018. Two models were employed for this purpose. The following results are attained: i-) The first model purports that the EKC hypothesis is confirmed only in Nigeria and Vietnam, but the U-shape trajectory was found in Indonesia. ii-) The findings of the second model do not provide support for the validity of LCC theory in BNIVMT countries, whereas an inverted U-shaped relationship between GDP and LCF was revealed in Bangladesh and Indonesia. iii-) Energy consumption worsens environmental quality in Bangladesh, Nigeria, Indonesia, Turkey, and the entire panel. Urbanization deteriorates the environment in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Turkey, whereas it ameliorates the environment in Nigeria. iv-) The causality relationship from GDP, EC, and URBAN to the ecological footprint (EF) and the load capacity factor (LCF) is attested in Nigeria. Findings evince EC causes environmental degradation in Turkey. Urbanization causes ecological degradation in Vietnam. v-) In countries where EKC has been ratified, the LCC may not necessarily follow a U-shaped trajectory, indicating that interpretations of the EKC hypothesis based on the LCC shape may yield inconsistent results.

“…These contrary findings also confirm that the link between agricultural economic activity and emissions varies by region. Using the common correlated effects mean group estimator (CCEMG) technique, it was discovered that during the 1991-2019 period in Bangladesh and Turkey, agricultural activities reduced environmental degradation while in contrast, agricultural activities increased carbon emissions in Mexico [33]. In Azerbaijan, an increase in agricultural GDP reduced CO 2 during the 1992-2014 period using the ARDL bounds test method [34].…”

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.

“…Over the last decade, research investigating the relationship between economic development and agriculture-induced pollution has gained considerable attention (Liang 2016 ; Ali et al 2017 ; Ridzuan et al 2020 ; Selcuk et al 2021 ). Among those, a few studies discussed agrochemical consumption (e.g., chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and agricultural plastic films) as a land indicator in the framework of the EKC hypothesis, recognizing them as a source of agricultural non-point pollution (see Tables 1 and 2 for an overview of the literature).…”

This study investigated the relationship between fertilizer nitrogen (N) and phosphate (P) surpluses and economic development on the regional level in China. With a balanced panel dataset covering 30 provinces of mainland China from 1988 to 2019, we employed panel cointegrating polynomial regression (CPR) analysis using fully modified OLS (FM-OLS) estimators. Our results suggested that all provinces exhibit a long-run cointegrated relationship between fertilizer surpluses and real per capita gross regional product (GRP). A total of 22 provinces out of 30 showed a significant inverted U-shaped environmental Kuznets curve (EKC). Among those, 14 provinces are considered to have reached the peak and 8 provinces are considered to be before the peak. The group-mean turning points on the EKC are CNY 7022, CNY 9726, CNY 4697, CNY 3749, and CNY 5588 per capita GRP (1978 = 100) for the Northeast, Northcentral, Middle, and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Southwest and Northwest China, respectively. The overall turning point of China is CNY 6705 per capita real gross domestic product (GDP), which was reached in circa 2012. This shows a general improvement of chemical fertilizer management in China. However, six provinces still exhibit linear growth in fertilizer surpluses when the economy grows. These regions are characterized by high cash-crop ratios and are mostly located along the southeast coast. Therefore, more effort and attention should be given to these regions to promote further fertilizer reduction. At the same time, nutrient use efficiencies should be improved, especially for cash crops such as fruit and vegetables.
