Abstract

The agricultural sector in Bangladesh is an ongoing societal expectation of reducing environmental impacts and increasing crop productivity to provide food security for its growing population. Introducing life cycle assessment is a systematic approach for establishing how sustainable a crop may become and the potential impacts of complete life cycle wheat farming on the environment and input resource conservation. This innovative field study focuses on conservation agriculture wheat farming to increase energy use efficiency (EUE) and environmental sustainability by decreasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through comparing different conservation tillage practices to conventional tillage. Furthermore, the study estimated the net carbon footprint (CF) of wheat farming, taking into account the additional contribution of soil carbon sequestration and offered a model of the environmental sustainability for wheat farming. The FEAT tool was used to assess energy use analysis, life cycle GHG emissions, and CF during the life cycle (CF) wheat farming. The introduced strip tillage (ST), minimum tillage (MT), and conventional tillage (CT) were predicted by utilizing input enegy of 18,764.29, 18,728.78, and 20,564.32 MJ ha−1 in wheat farming, respectively, with the EUE of 8.46, 8.65, and 6.25%. Among the tillage practices, MT is the most effective practice option in the wheat farming production process. The net life cycle GHG emissions were observed to be 1.968, 1.977, and 2.023 kgCO2eq ha−1 for ST, MT and CT, respectively, where the CF was estimated to be 0.013, 0.012, and 0.014 kgCO2 MJ−1. As a result, CA-based ST and MT practices to be the most effective life cycle GHG mitigation options for wheat farming in Bangladesh.
