Energy consumption and CO2 emissions analysis of potato production based on different farm size levels in Iran

Pathways to Improve Energy Efficiency and Minimize Environmental Footprints of GHG Emission of Energy Inputs Used in Cowpea Production in Niger State of Nigeria

“…In the literature review, studies which applied DEA to investigate GHG emission reduction in agricultural units in different countries on crop production and animal husbandry are few, and examples of such studies are Komleh et al [12], Komleh et al [13], Khoshnevisan et al [5], Khoshnevisan et al [6], Soni et al [19], Pelesaraei et al [9], Kordkheili et al [14], Sadiq et al [16], Sadiq et al [15], Sadiq et al [17], Onuk et al [11], Singh and Mukhi [18], Carvalho et al [7] and Kyei et al [20].…”

“…Meanwhile, sustainability has received peculiar attention due to the growing number of population and correspondingly energy demand. One of the useful methods to evaluate and investigate the potential long-term sustainability of agricultural practices is energy auditing and its analysis [12] However, no study was found about technical efficiency measurement of cowpea production farms in the light of energy efficiency and GHG emission reduction using data envelopment analysis.…”

Comparison of GHG emissions between efficient and inefficient broiler farms in Kaduna state of Nigeria using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA): environmental sustainability

“…According to literature, the only study conducted on energy optimization in broiler production using DEA was done by Heidari et al [1]; with no effort of investigating the effect of energy optimization on GHG emission in broiler production. However, literature revealed few recent studies that used DEA to estimate GHG emissions in crops production [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. In this study, the same methodology was adopted for broiler farms in Kaduna State, with the objectives to specify energy use for broiler production, segregate efficient farmers from inefficient ones, identify wasteful uses of energy inputs and investigate the effect of energy optimization on GHG emission in broiler production.…”

Greenhouse Gas Reduction in Off-Season Cucumber Production by Improving Energy Efficiency: A Case Study from Punjab, Pakistan

“…Nearly 10 to 12% emissions of GHG come from the agriculture sector [7]. The contribution of the agricultural sector was 19.80% in gross domestic product of Pakistan, and it provides employment to 42.3% of the labor force [8].…”
