Efficient use of energy resources in crop production is an important goal in sustainable agriculture. This study compares the energy flow in farming systems across farm size with their corresponding greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions - presented in terms of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2 eq.) - in...

In recent years, besides the energy issues, the GHG (greenhouse gas) emission, which is the most important cause of global warming, has received high attention. In order to have sustainable development, it is necessary to manage energy usage and GHG emissions in all production processes. This...

This study was carried out in Esfahan province of Iran. Data were collected from 260 farms in Fereydonshahr city with face to face questionnaire method. The objective of this study was to predict wheat production yield and (greenhouse gas) GHG emissions on the basis of energy inputs....

This study was carried out in Esfahan province in Iran in order to model output energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of potato production on the basis of input energies using artificial neural networks (ANNs). Data were collected from 260 farms in Fereydonshahr city with face to face...
