The paper adopts a single-country regional panel dataset to analyse the long-term relationship between agricultural greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions and productivity growth and, consequently, to assess emissions sustainability. The hypothesis of emission sustainability is assessed by estimating...

This paper firstly aims at proposing and applying a methodology to reconstruct the agricultural GHG emissions and the consequent Carbon Footprint at the farm level. This allows investigating how the emission performance of Italian farms evolves over time also distinguishing among different...

The paper proposes an analysis of long-term agricultural methane emissions in Italian regions. Looking back over the past, this analysis shows a sustainable path achieved through the transformation of agriculture and its relative decline within the Italian economy. The paper proposes two...
