Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study examines how manufacturing emissions, urbanization, and globalization impact Nigeria’s crop production (1981–2023) using the ARDL approach. Results show emissions harm agriculture, while urbanization and globalization boost it via demand, infrastructure, and technology. The structural breaks highlights political and economic shifts for the sampled country. Thus, stricter environmental regulations, strategic urban planning, and leveraging globalization for technology transfer and investment are essential to balancing industrial growth, sustainability, and agricultural productivity.
