THE IMPACT OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES THAT PRODUCE NATURAL GAS ON GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
The agricultural sector is one of the most important sectors in the economies of developing countries. In addition, due to environmental concerns, global demand for energy has moved toward fuels with less carbon content such as natural gas. This study examines the impact of six factors of the agricu...
