Does Green Energy and Technological Innovations Induce Agriculture and Land Sustainability: Contextual Evidence From Climate Resilient Practices

ABSTRACT With the growing environmental concerns, the existing literature mostly highlights the industrial pollution while neglecting the factors associated with the agriculture‐related greenhouse gas emissions. Regarding this, the study explores the impacts of green energy, tech development, and urbanization on agriculture's greenhouse gas emissions. The prime objective of the current research is to unveil the green energy, tech innovations, and environmental sustainability nexus to draw novel implications in the context of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In doing so, the authors employ the quarterly data of China from 1990Q1 to 2020Q4. For the long‐run empirical analysis, the authors utilize various time‐series estimating approaches, such as Quantile regression, which performs better in testing the nexus at different quantiles. However, the Fully Modified OLS, Dynamic OLS, and Canonical Cointegration Regression methods are used as robustness tools to authenticate the estimate of the primary approach. The results suggest that greener energy and technological innovations significantly reduce agriculture sector emissions. Furthermore, the presence of green energy transforms its negative influence into a positive one. Contrastingly, the use of traditional fossil fuel energy, urbanization, and financial development are significant drivers of emissions. This study's findings support SDGs, particularly SDG‐2, which supports the stance of sustainable agriculture and encourages green energy use. Overall, the study discourses policy‐related suggestions in the sustainability's context.
