The development of engineering solutions as an integral part of technological solutions for improvement of the agricultural efficiency and the environmental impact reduction is a prerequisite for sustainability in the agro-industrial sector. For technology involved in technology adoption, precision agriculture, renewable energy integration, water efficiency, government subsidies, research and development, labor productivity, this study analyzes the relation to sustainability in 7 different regions (Kazakhstan, China, USA, Canada, Poland, Germany, and Kenya) during the years 2020 to 2024. An econometric panel data model is used by the research to quantify the relationship between engineering driven innovations and agricultural efficiency. The results depict large cross-country variation in sustainability performance in which, Germanys and Canadas agricultural efficiency levels are the highest primarily due to the advanced technological adoption, efficient use of resources and strong policy support.

Agro-industrial sector is a very important sector for economy but it causes many environmental problems, therefore it is of great interest to determine the balance between agricultural sustenance and environment protection.

摘要

The development of engineering solutions as an integral part of technological solutions for improvement of the agricultural efficiency and the environmental impact reduction is a prerequisite for sustainability in the agro-industrial sector. For technology involved in technology adoption, precision agriculture, renewable energy integration, water efficiency, government subsidies, research and development, labor productivity, this study analyzes the relation to sustainability in 7 different regions (Kazakhstan, China, USA, Canada, Poland, Germany, and Kenya) during the years 2020 to 2024. An econometric panel data model is used by the research to quantify the relationship between engineering driven innovations and agricultural efficiency. The results depict large cross-country variation in sustainability performance in which, Germanys and Canadas agricultural efficiency levels are the highest primarily due to the advanced technological adoption, efficient use of resources and strong policy support. Though higher than average emissions and water inefficiencies, China and Kazakhstan have moderate efficiency levels facilitated by mechanization initiatives undertaken by the government. The country with the lowest agricultural efficiency score, Kenya is plagued with poor access to sustainable technologies, very high soil degradation and low government support. The result suggests that good agricultural sustainability is achieved by combining engineering and policy interventions in natural systems, which maximize resource use and minimize environmental impact. Agro-industrial sector is a very important sector for economy but it causes many environmental problems, therefore it is of great interest to determine the balance between agricultural sustenance and environment protection.
