In today’s global era, agriculture faces significant challenges due to the increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which threaten water resources, soil quality, and plant growth environments. To address this, the adoption of Low Emission Development (LED) in agriculture has become crucial in reducing GHG emissions, ensuring a healthy farming system, and promoting economic, social, and environmental improvements in crop and livestock production while contributing to climate change mitigation.
