Contributing Factors to Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Agriculture for Supporting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Insights from a Systematic Literature Review Completed by Computational Bibliometric Analysis

Agricultural production contributes significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and global climate change. This study conducts a systematic literature review to examine the evolution and drivers of agricultural GHG emissions. We analyzed Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar data using bibliometric and thematic methods. Our analysis identified emission sources such as energy use, soil management, fertilizer application, and livestock management. It also discussed mitigation measures such as sustainable practices, precision agriculture, and renewable energy. The findings showed that crop cultivation, livestock activities, and land-use change remained key sources of emissions. Technological innovations and policy-driven strategies are reshaping the research landscape. This study provides a framework for understanding agricultural GHG emissions and supporting interventions to reduce the sector's carbon footprint as well as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
