“…Reducing N 2 O emissions can also be done through the application of organic farming by saving the practical of synthetical fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and fungicides contained therein, so as to reduce GHG emissions and the flow of nitrates and toxic-based chemicals. Organic fertilizer in organic farming will determine significant role in keeping optimal ground health, growing carbon sequestration, and lowering GHG emissions [30], [68], [69]…”

“…The contribution of the formation of Methane gas (CH 4 ) to the atmosphere globally is estimated at 18 to 280 Gt per year. Variations in the amount of methane gas produced are strongly influenced by the type of agricultural activity itself [28,29,30,31], including the type of irrigation [32], the type of fertilizer used [34] and the variety used.…”

The study purpose was to estimate greenhouse gases produced in agricultural sector in Teluk Bintuni Regency. Data were taken from 15 farmer groups from 15 districts, and 6 families of rice farmers assisted by Tangguh LNG’ CSR. The calculation method uses IPCC 2006 Tier 2. The correction factor used in calculating Bintuni’s GHG is adjusted based on land area, soil type, type of fertilizer, and type of irrigation used. The results show that paddy farming activities by rice farmers assisted by Tangguh LNG CSR produce CH4 of 964.45 kg/year, or CO2 of 20.253,54 kg/year. Fertilization activities on paddy fields produced direct emissions of 1344.51 kg CO2, indirect emissions of 436.97kg CO2, fertilizing activities of paddy fields using NPK produced direct NO2 emissions equivalent to 456.70 kg CO2, and indirect emissions of 148.43 kg CO2. Fertilization activities on plantation land using ZA fertilizer produced direct NO2 emissions of 2969.74 kg CO2 and indirect emissions of 965.165 kg CO2, NO2 emissions from NPK fertilizer produced direct emissions of 6074.467 and indirect emissions of 1974.20 kg CO2. It is necessary to further implement low-emission agricultural activities through fertilization of the right size and selection of rice varieties and low-emission irrigation systems.

The article provides data based on a four-year study of five cultivation technologies of different intensity, including organic. On the example of seven crops of fodder crop rotation, the effectiveness of controlling phytosanitary indicators - the number and mass of weeds, the spread of diseases and the number of insect pests, which are an obstacle to the widespread use of ecological cultivation technologies, was studied. The results of the research made it possible to recommend perennial grasses up to 3 years of use for inclusion in fodder crop rotations in order to improve the phytosanitary condition of crops, and corn in order to obtain high fodder crop rotation productivity. For the cultivation of forage crops, the use of organic technology is fully justified, as it contributed to the reduction in the abundance of weeds, minimized the prevalence of diseases of annual and perennial grasses, corn, reduced the number of pests; provided increase in productivity compared to extensive technology.

“…However, as more efforts are being made to diversify the cultivation and consumption of fruits and vegetables, farmers cultivate IVs from other ethnographical locations [15,16]. The distribution of IVs to other parts of the nation is particularly enhanced by the movement and settlement of people at different parts of the country other than their ancestral locations [17][18][19] as a result of job posting, quest for economic opportunities, or conflicts.…”

Indigenous vegetables (IVs) are rich sources of essential nutrients, particularly vitamins and minerals, and other non-nutritive phytochemicals. IVs play a critical role in the food culture of the Ghanaian people. Despite their importance, they have over the years been mostly associated with the resource-poor. In this study, the types of IVs, preparation preferences, frequency of consumption and some perceived benefits ascribed by some Ghanaian consumers (n = 1393) were investigated in a cross-sectional survey. Descriptive analysis and a chi-square test of independence were conducted to summarise and determine the relationship between gender, age and consumption frequency of the IVs. The study identified okra (Abelmoschus esculentus), cocoyam (Xanthosoma sagittifolium) leaves, jute mallow (Corchorus olitorius) and garden egg (Solanum melongena) as the popular IVs consumed by respondents. Among these, about 13.3% of women and 15.3% of men indicated they consume okra. Eight per cent of the women respondents and 6.7% of the men consumed jute mallow. Almost 57% of the respondents said the IVs were used to prepare stew and soup. More than a third (39%) of the respondents indicated that they consumed the IVs either daily or more than once a week. Women respondents’ frequency of IVs consumption was significantly different [X2 (4, n = 1393) = 30.11, p = 0.000] from the men. The frequency of consumption of IVs for the elderly was significantly higher [X2 (12, n = 1393) = 30.53, p = 0.002] as compared to the younger respondents. The main perceived benefits of IVs were nutrition- and health-related. The major barriers to the consumption of IVs were cost, non-availability, palatability and cultural. The IVs were largely wet-cooked and consumed as stews or sauces and soups. These findings form good bases for further empirical studies on the nutritional and other health-benefiting attributes of the specific IVs found in this study for sustainable promotion and utilisation in Ghana.
