The intersection of agricultural practices and environmental sustainability has become a critical area of research in the face of escalating climate change and environmental degradation. With agriculture being a significant contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and soil degradation, there is an urgent need to explore innovative and sustainable practices that enhance crop production while mitigating environmental impacts. This compilation of research articles delves into various aspects of agricultural sustainability, focusing on the impact of different farming practices, soil management techniques, and advanced technological interventions on crop yield, soil health, and GHG emissions.
The collection of studies presented underscores the importance of adopting sustainable agricultural practices to address the dual challenges of enhancing food production and protecting the environment. By leveraging advanced technologies such as remote sensing, isotopic analysis, and process-based modeling, these studies provide valuable insights into optimizing agricultural practices for better environmental outcomes. Tailoring agri-environmental policies to the diverse needs and behaviors of farmers further emphasizes the need for context-specific approaches to achieve sustainable agriculture.
