Exergoenvironmental damages assessment in a desert‐based agricultural system: A case study of date production

Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3155-3172, November/December 2022., 2022
Abstract Developing countries, especially those in hot and dry areas, need more attention to achieve sustainable development as they apply excessive inputs in production processes. The present study aims to quantify the amount of environmental emissions and determine the most appropriate pattern of energy use in the date (Phoenix dactylifera L ...
