Description
Summary:Agricultural practices and renewable energy consumption have a major impact on the intensity and absorption of heat-trapping greenhouse gases and are closely linked to climate change. The impact of agriculture on climate change is due to the GHGs such as methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere during the agricultural practices. Therefore, to avoid undesirable effects of agriculture on climate change, it is important to understand the relationship between agricultural activities and greenhouse gases. In this study, we analyze the long-term effects of agricultural efficiency, fertilizer use, and renewable energy consumption on total carbon emissions in Turkey using ARDL/NARDL and CCE methods. The CCE method is used to evaluate the values of agricultural efficiency for Turkey, while ARDL and NARDL models are used to estimate the long-term effects of variables including agricultural efficiency, fertilizer use, renewable energy consumption, GDP, and population on carbon emissions. The results show that improving agricultural efficiency and increasing the share of renewable energy would reduce carbon emissions, while fertilizer use, GDP, and population have negative long-term effects on carbon emissions. In addition, the results of the Wald test indicate asymmetric long-term effects of renewable energy, agricultural efficiency, and fertilizer use on climate change.
