Compost substitution lowers the carbon and water footprints of wheat and faba bean under deficit irrigation in arid Upper Egypt: a novel cradle-to-farm-gate life cycle assessment in the scope of peaceful agricultural and environmental sustainability

日本語

この研究は、エジプト乾燥地域の灌水制限条件下で堆肥代替を行うことにより、小麦とソラマメの炭素・水フットプリントが低減することをLCAで実証した。農業分野でのGHG排出削減策として示唆に富む。

English

This study uses a cradle-to-farm-gate LCA to demonstrate that compost substitution under deficit irrigation reduces both carbon and water footprints of wheat and faba bean in arid Upper Egypt, offering a practical GHG mitigation pathway for agriculture.

日本のGX文脈において

日本農業でも水資源の有効活用とGHG削減が課題であり、乾燥地での堆肥活用事例は参考になるが、エジプト特有の気候・土壌条件に基づくため直接適用には調整が必要。

In the global GX context

This study provides empirical evidence on compost substitution's dual benefits for carbon and water footprint reduction in arid agriculture, relevant for global climate mitigation strategies in water-scarce regions. It supports LCA methodology for agricultural decarbonization.
