| description | Nowadays, agriculture is facing a special challenge – to produce more food for a growing
population, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions caused by food production. This
piece of research is focused on the impact of agriculture on climate change, starting from
the assumption that agriculture is affected by climate variability, but also it contributes to it
by emitting greenhouse gases, under the restriction of less per capita land. The paper
analyses the connection between agricultural emissions and agricultural output, using a
simple regression model, which includes variables corresponding to agricultural production
and to greenhouse gas emissions. The results of the research highlight the fact that
agricultural production has direct effects on greenhouse gas emissions and, thereby, on
climate change. The relevance of the research consists in rising awareness of the emergency
to integrate climate change in policies and actions related to food security at all levels.
Moreover, the paper contributes to the enrichment of scientific literature, because it
presents empirical evidence supporting the different effects of agricultural practices on the
environment in Romania, with implications for climate change, a scientific direction that
has been little studied in other papers |
