The international food production is reason of almost one-third of the total humans caused Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) include agriculture sector growth and management of climate change. Carbon footprint is an indicator of GHG intensity, created from different economic actions. It represents more than fifty percent of the total ecological footprint and used as managing tool for estimating environmental pollution. The current study investigates the relationship between agriculture sector specific indicators and carbon footprint in fifty-six countries by using panel econometrics. The outcomes of the study provide strong evidence on the presence of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). The analysis also shows that there exists negative association between carbon footprint and agricultural development. However agriculture sector expansion by employing environment friendly methods and technologies decreases carbon footprint in selected countries. Furthermore, the relationship between carbon footprint and agricultural exports is found positive. It implies that agricultural exports encourage the carbon footprint growth by stimulating the production and transport of agricultural commodities. Finally, there is positive relationship between carbon footprint and high scale of agricultural production, which supports the concept of production-based emission. These findings emphasizes that too much use of fertilizers in agriculture sector fosters the carbon footprint growth and damages natural environment of countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
