The agricultural sector plays a vital role in ensuring food security and supporting sustainable economic growth. However, climate change and global warming pose significant challenges to the long-term viability of agricultural production, underscoring the need for sustainable agricultural practices. Adopting clean technologies and environmentally responsible policies is essential for balancing economic and agricultural sustainability while minimizing ecological harm. Supportive and protective agricultural inputs are widely used to enhance productivity, yet excessive, unregulated use can lead to environmental degradation. This deterioration negatively impacts ecosystems, reducing biodiversity and straining natural resources. The Load Capacity Factor (LCF) serves as a critical metric for assessing the environmental footprint of agricultural activities. This paper investigates the effects of agricultural value-added, pesticide use, and fertilizer application on LCF in BRICS-T countries. The findings indicate that these variables exhibit long-term cointegration, with varying short- and long-term impacts. To ensure the sustainability of agricultural production while safeguarding ecosystems, it is essential to integrate clean technologies, precision farming, and regenerative agricultural practices into policy frameworks. Sustainable agricultural systems and environmentally conscious policies are fundamental to securing resilient food production and long-term economic stability.

Durmus, Savas; Agırkaya, Melahat Batu; Akyol, Hikmet
This study examines the effects of economic growth, financial development, and urbanization on the load capacity factor (LCF) for Newly Industrialized Countries (NICs) over the period 1991-2021. In this context, we analyzed the relationship between the variables using the Fixed Effects Driscoll-Kraay and Fixed Effects Panel Quantile estimators. The estimation results indicate that across all quantiles (low, medium, and high levels of environmental degradation), economic growth has a positive effect on LCF, while the squared term of economic growth has a negative effect. Urbanization and renewable energy consumption positively impact LCF, whereas financial development and labor force participation rates have negative effects. The positive effects of urbanization and renewable energy consumption on LCF become more pronounced in higher quantiles. Conversely, the negative impact of labor force participation on LCF is stronger in higher quantiles. The negative effect of financial development on LCF, however, becomes statistically insignificant at higher quantiles.

Al, I.; Akbulut Yildiz, G.; Yildiz, B.
This study investigates the impact of clean energy technologies, health expenditure, and economic growth on environmental quality using the Fourier Engle-Granger cointegration method for the United States in the 1974–2022 period. The Fourier approach successfully identifies gradual structural shifts and nonlinear dynamics in long-run relations, which are frequent in macroeconomic and environmental time series but are typically overlooked by standard approaches. The findings show that clean energy research and development investment—specifically in energy efficiency, renewable resources, and nuclear technologies—and health expenditures significantly positively impact environmental quality. However, economic growth has a negative impact environmental quality in the United States. These results highlight the necessity of integrating environmental objectives into energy and health policy and prioritizing investment in sustainable technologies to achieve ecological sustainability in the long term.

This study investigates the effects of economic freedom sub-components on load capacity factor (LCF) in 12 MENA countries for 2017-2022. The 12 sub-components of the economic freedom index were used as independent variables, and the load capacity factor was used as the dependent variable. In the study, four-panel data models were created using the subcomponents of the economic freedom index, and a two-stage System-GMM was used. According to the study, while property rights reduce the load capacity factor, Judicial Effectiveness increases it. The effect of Government Integrity on the load capacity factor is statistically insignificant. While Government spending negatively affects the load capacity factor, Tax Burden and Fiscal Health are statistically insignificant. Business freedom affects the load capacity factor positively, but monetary freedom affects it negatively. Labour freedom is statistically insignificant. On the other hand, trade freedom and investment freedom have a positive impact on the load capacity factor, while financial freedom has a negative effect.

Artan, Seyfettin; Erdogan, Sinan; Recepoglu, Muersit; Çakir, Suemeyra cay; Hayaloglu, Pinar; Çakir, Mehmet Ali
The economic gap between developed and developing economies has been diminishing due to the recent rapid economic growth performance of developing economies. While achieving this swift growth level, developing economies have structurally transformed their economies. However, the impact of this structural change on environmental sustainability remains unclear. Therefore, this study focuses on the impacts of structural change, energy structure, and economic growth on the load capacity factor, a comprehensive sustainability indicator, in newly industrialized countries during 2000-2020. To this end, second-generation panel data techniques, which account for cross-sectional dependence and heterogeneity, are used to provide more robust and reliable estimates. The results show that economic growth, structural change, and fossil energy utilization decrease the load capacity factor while renewable energy utilization increases it. These findings underscore the need for energy efficiency and resource-conscious policies that align with environmental sustainability while promoting economic growth, highlighting their crucial role in the future of sustainable development.
