This paper analyzes the impact of sustainable agricultural technologies on CO₂ emissions in the rural areas of Carani and Jamu Mare. The study focuses on the adoption of environmentally friendly practices such as precision agriculture, reduced tillage systems, efficient irrigation technologies, and the use of renewable energy sources in agricultural operations. By comparing emission levels before and after the implementation of these technologies, the research highlights their role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving resource efficiency. The research analyzed the main components of the natural environment – relief, lithology, hydrography, climate and vegetation – in correlation with the physicochemical properties of the soils and the applied technological practices. Soil samples were taken from representative soil profiles and analyzed in the laboratory to determine the soil reaction (pH), humus, phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen content, as well as to estimate the carbon sequestration capacity. Data were collected through field measurements, farmer surveys, and analysis of agricultural inputs and outputs. The results indicate a significant decrease in CO₂ emissions, primarily due to reduced fuel consumption, optimized fertilizer use, and enhanced soil carbon sequestration. The results obtained highlight that the adoption of sustainable agricultural technologies, such as crop rotation, organic fertilization and reduction of mechanical works, contributes significantly to reducing the carbon footprint and increasing the soil's capacity to store organic carbon. By integrating these practices, agriculture can become a key factor in mitigating climate change and promoting sustainable management of natural resources. Furthermore, the findings emphasize the importance of local conditions and policy support in accelerating the transition toward sustainable agriculture.
