Evaluation of Low-Carbon Sustainable Technologies in Agriculture Sector through Grey Ordinal Priority Approach

The agriculture sector plays a vital role in the economy, society, and environment, the three dimensions of sustainability. The agriculture sector contributes 12% to 14% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere, negatively impacting climate change. Using low-carbon and sustainable agricultural technologies can help mitigate climate change and global food security issues. But selecting and prioritizing the best technologies among all alternatives has always been an issue for decision-makers because of various uncertainty related to the agricultural sector. Therefore, the current study intends to identify and prioritize the key low-carbon and sustainable agricultural technologies. The current study makes a pioneering attempt in employing the Grey Ordinal Priority Approach (OPA-G), a modern multi-attribute decision-making technique, for the evaluation of low-carbon and sustainable technologies for the agricultural sector.
