CARBON EMISSIONS IN AGRICULTURAL GROWTH: A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF FACTORS INFLUENCING ORGANIC CROP PRODUCTION IN KAZAKHSTAN

The article examines the problem of carbon emissions into the atmosphere caused by agricultural activities. She analyzes various aspects of the problem, including the impact of fertilizer use, tillage, and animal husbandry on carbon emissions. The article examines modern methods and technologies that can reduce agriculture’s carbon footprint and improve its environmental sustainability. The authors also discuss the role of renewable energy, effective waste management and sustainable practices in agriculture to reduce its contribution to climate change. This study is anticipated to make significant contributions to both recent literature and policymaking in Kazakhstan across several dimensions. Economic regression analysis was conducted using the panel data models such as Random Effects and Fixed Effects, and two econometric models were assessed. The findings of this study shed light on the intricate relationship between carbon emissions and key determinants within the agricultural sector of Kazakhstan. By employing a comprehensive regression model, incorporating various variables such as oilseed imports and exports, investments in the green economy, fertilizer usage, arable land, and economic indicators, this research delves into the nuanced dynamics influencing carbon emissions
