“…The GHG values of unit inputs were obtained by multiplying each input by its own emission coefficient taken from the literature (Table 3) and were reported by Mg of compost produced and by production unit (hectare) per year, for the whole cultivation cycle. The GHG emissions were divided both by category (e.g., human labor, fuels, fertilizers) and operations (e.g., sowing, tillage, fertilizers application) [27,32,40]. Aside from the CO 2 equivalent emissions measured during the crop's cultivation operations, a further direct and indirect GHG impact of fertilizers use, and plants biomass decomposition arises from N 2 O emissions from soils.…”

The Circular Economy concept implies the re-design of existing production systems in agriculture, by promoting agricultural waste recycling. In an organic zucchini—lettuce rotation, two different agroecological tools were considered: biofertilizer and presence or absence of green manure (GM+ and GM−). In particular, we compared: (i) anaerobic digestate from cattle manure, co-composted with vegetable wastes, with the presence of GM (AD GM+); (ii) olive pomace compost, re-composted, with the presence of GM (OWC GM+); (iii) municipal waste compost with GM (MWC GM+); (iv) municipal waste compost without GM (MWC GM−). These materials were tested with a commercial organic fertilizer without GM (COF GM−) as a positive control. The objectives were: (i) assessing the environmental sustainability of biofertilizers through carbon footprint analysis by greenhouse gas—GHG—emissions; (ii) evaluating the agronomic performance on the vegetable rotation, by energy output assessment. The total carbon emissions of biofertilizers production was 63.9 and 67.0 kg of CO2 eq Mg−1 for AD and OWC, respectively. The co-composting and re-composting processes emitted 31.4 and 8.4 kg CO2 per Mg of compost, respectively. In AD the ventilation phase of composting accounted for 37.2% of total emissions. The total CO2 emission values for the two-crop cycles were the highest in COF GM− and the lowest in OWC GM+, due to different fertilizer sources. On the average of the treatments, the input that induced the highest CO2 emission was irrigation (37.9%). The energy output assessment for zucchini and lettuce highlighted similar performance for all the treatments. Our findings demonstrated the validity of the tested processes to recycle agro-industrial wastes, and the potential of agroecological practices (GM) to mitigate GHG emissions.

In this research, energy use efficiency and GHG ratio computations were determined in olive farming. It was practiced in Çakallık area of Karpuzlu district of Aydın province of Turkey. Experiments and research datas computations were based on the January 2020 -January 2021 growing season. Energy input (EI) and energy output (EO) in olive farming were computed as 2580.70 MJ ha -1 and 9904.04 MJ ha -1 . In olive farming, 46.96% of all energy inputs consists of nitrogen energy (1212 MJ ha -1 ), 25.49% consists of human labour energy (657.88 MJ ha -1 ), 8.60% consists of phosphorus energy (222 MJ ha -1 ), 8.04% consists of electricity energy (207.36 MJ ha -1 ), 5.19% consists of potassium energy (134 MJ ha -1 ), 5.14% consists of transportation energy (132.53 MJ ha -1 ) and 0.58% consists of sulphur energy (14.93 MJ ha -1 ). Energy use efficiency (EUE), specific energy (SE), energy productivity (EP) and net energy (NE) in olive farming were computed as 3.84, 0.88 MJ kg -1 , 1.14 kg MJ -1 and 7323.34 MJ ha -1 , respectively. Energy inputs in olive farming could be classified as 33.53% direct, 66.47% indirect, 25.49% renewable and 74.51% non-renewable. Total GHG emissions were computed as 406.73 kgCO2-eqha -1 for olive farming with the greatest input being use of human labour (57.77%). Human labour input is followed by nitrogen (22.47%), electricity (8.51%), phosphorus (5.80%), potassium (3.15%), sulphur (1.21%) and transportation inputs (1.09%), respectively. GHG ratio value was computed as 0.14 kgCO2-eqkg -1 in olive farming.

With the aim of evaluation and comparison of the greenhouse gas emissions from soybean and tangerine production in Golestan province, Iran, a pilot experiment was carried out. In this experiment, 43 fields of soybeans and 43 orchard tangerines were selected by various management in the province using questionnaires. The greenhouse gas emissions were examined using the Global Warming Potential (GWP). The results of this study showed that fossil fuel was the highest energy consumption in the production of soybeans (6906.5 MJ ha-1) and tangerines (17205.1 MJ ha-1). The lowest amount of energy consumption among inputs was related to micro fertilizers, that was 9 MJ ha-1 for soybeans and 17.6 MJ ha-1 for tangerine. In both of production system, the most energy consumed was shown for the harvesting sector. Irrigation and planting were the highest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions in soybean field by 387.7 and 109.4 kg CO2 ha-1, respectively; while in the tangerine production, the most greenhouse gas emissions were related to irrigation and harvesting process by 5828.4 and 394.7 kg CO2 ha-1. In general, input energy in soybean and tangerine were 17512.8 and 33879.8 MJ ha-1, total output energy was calculated 48310.5 and 105463 MJ ha-1. Finally, the energy use efficiency was computed for soybean and tangerine 2.9 and 3.3, respectively.
