Review highlights how low-carbon agriculture enhances sustainability and resilience in farming while reducing emissions.
Climate change poses significant threats to global agriculture, compromising crop yields, livestock productivity and food security. Low‐carbon agriculture (LCA) offers a sustainable pathway to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while enhancing carbon sequestration in agroecosystems. This review synthesizes LCA principles and practices, focusing on key strategies such as improving nitrogen use efficiency, optimizing water management, adopting biopesticides and leveraging artificial intelligence for resource optimization. Beyond environmental benefits, LCA supports climate mitigation, bolsters ecosystem services and fosters economic opportunities through carbon markets and sustainable value chains. However, widespread adoption requires coordinated policy frameworks, technological innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration among scientists, farmers and policymakers. We emphasize the critical role of LCA in building agricultural resilience and ensuring sustainability in a changing climate.
