The agricultural sector plays a significant role in climate change as a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Given agriculture's vulnerability to climate variations, shifts in seasons, and extreme weather, global productivity and yields are at risk. To address both climate change and food security, promoting low-carbon farming practices is crucial. These practices aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, minimize agricultural carbon footprints, enhance resilience, and foster sustainable agricultural development. This narrative review paper aims to examine low-carbon agricultural practices, drawing on literature reviews and recent research on climate vulnerabilities. It explores significant practices that can help mitigate climate change by transitioning to perennial crops, implementing plant factories, and promoting healthy diets. The discussion includes challenges to adopting
The greenhouse effect drives climate change and extreme weather, threatening environmental sustainability, human survival, food security, economic stability. Reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and decoupling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from economic growth are global priorities. To stabilize GHG concentrations and prevent further climate disruption, the Paris Agreement requires countries to set Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) for climate action. Nature-based Solutions (NbS), including green carbon stored in trees(forest), yellow carbon in soil, and blue carbon in marine ecosystems, are increasingly recognized for their dual role in mitigating GHGes and enhancing human well-being and ecosystem services. Although Taiwan's agriculture sector accounted for only 1.17% (29 kt CO2 e) of the nation's total GHG emissions in 2020, their remains the only measurable
