本研究は、地中海地域での有機綿栽培における水フットプリント（WFP）とカーボンフットプリント（CFP）を評価。3地点で2品種を3つの灌漑条件下で試験し、EU ETSと社会的炭素コストを用いた温室効果ガス排出の経済評価を統合。結果は地点・品種・灌漑量に大きく依存し、高い収量がWFP・CFPを低減することを示した。
English
This study assesses water and carbon footprints of organic cotton under Mediterranean conditions across three sites, two cultivars, and three irrigation regimes, integrating economic valuation via EU ETS and Social Cost of Carbon. Results show significant site-specific variability, with yield strongly influencing mass-based indicators. Shifting from severe deficit to full irrigation reduces emissions by ~50% at two sites, but cultivar response differs: Armonia is more resilient, ST-318 prefers full irrigation.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本国内では有機綿花生産は小規模だが、水ストレス・炭素価格の統合評価手法は日本の農業GXやGX-ETS（自主的排出量取引）の議論に示唆を与える。また、灌漑と品種選択の最適化は、日本の水稲や畑作の環境負荷低減策として参考になる。
In the global GX context
Globally, this paper demonstrates integration of carbon pricing (EU ETS, SCC) into agricultural carbon footprinting, relevant for climate policy and sustainable supply chains. The site-specific and cultivar-specific results underscore the need for localized strategies in carbon accounting, which can inform ISSB and CSRD-aligned disclosure for the textile sector. The use of economic valuation of emissions adds a dimension for transition finance and corporate reporting on climate risk.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Researchers in agricultural carbon accounting and environmental footprinting can adopt the method of combining physical footprints with carbon price scenarios.
🏢実務担当者:Sustainability teams in textile or agribusiness can use the findings to optimize irrigation and cultivar selection for lower carbon and water footprints.
🏛政策担当者:Policymakers can reference the study to design carbon pricing policies that account for agricultural variability and site-specific conditions.
📄 Abstract（原文）
The analysis of water and emission efficiency in cropping systems is vital for sustainable agriculture in Mediterranean regions, which face increasing water shortages. This study offers a site-specific assessment of the Water Footprint (WFP) and Carbon Footprint (CFP) of organic cotton grown under Mediterranean conditions, integrating environmental indicator measurements with economic valuation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions via the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) and the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC). Experiments were carried out at three sites with different soil types, testing two cultivars (Armonia and ST-318) under three irrigation scenarios: severe water deficit (I30), moderate water deficit (I70), and full irrigation (I100). The results reveal significant site-specific variability, with average WFP_lint values ranging from about 1.440 m3 per ton at the most productive site to over 4.100 m3 per ton at the least productive site. Similarly, CFP_lint is lower under high-yield conditions, emphasizing the strong influence of yield on mass-based indicators. At the Carboj and Primosole sites, shifting from (I30) to I100 results in roughly a 50% reduction in emissions, while at Buonfornello, increased irrigation does not consistently produce benefits. The cultivar response is key: Armonia shows greater resilience to water stress, while ST-318 performs best with full irrigation. Overall, the findings highlight that the sustainability of the Mediterranean cotton system depends on factors such as yield performance, site-specific conditions, and cultivar choice.
