ABSTRACT The interaction between agriculture land use, agriculture output, and climate change leads to identify the key elements that affect the developing nations. Using data from 2010 to 2023, the current study examines the effects of agricultural value addition, fertilizer usage, and green innovation on agriculture‐based emissions in APEC countries. In doing so, the study employs the dynamic panel generalized method of moments (GMMs) as an empirical strategy. The results demonstrate that agricultural value addition and fertilizer consumption encourage agricultural emissions. Green innovations directly increase agriculture‐related emissions, posing a risk for climate change. On the contrary, it also offers environmental advantages by lowering carbon emissions when combined with fertilizer consumption during production. Additionally, the study applies feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) and two‐step GMM in robustness testing. Besides, the study further employ the Granger Causality, which demonstrates that there is two‐way causality between the variables, with each variable strengthening the others. The findings suggest that policymakers should encourage green technology in agricultural practices in order to achieve sustainable production and to combat climate change.
