Sustainable agriculture is widely promoted as a cornerstone of climate change mitigation, yet the extent to which this research domain explicitly engages with carbon-neutrality and net-zero objectives remains unclear. This study presents the first global bibliometric and integrated qualitative synthesis of sustainable agriculture research explicitly framed within the context of carbon neutrality, based on 1,422 peer-reviewed journal articles indexed in Scopus published between 2010 and 2024. Using Bibliometrix (R) and VOSviewer, we analyze publication trends, leading journals, country-level contributions, collaboration patterns, keyword co-occurrence networks, thematic evolution, and conceptual structures. Results reveal a rapid transition from a niche research area to a consolidated interdisciplinary field, with annual publications rising from fewer than 20 articles before 2014 to 364 articles in 2024 (average growth rate: 31.35 publications year –1 ), and research output concentrated in China (940 articles), the United States (688 articles), and India (515 articles). To quantify alignment with net-zero agendas, we introduce a Carbon-Neutrality Orientation Score (CNOS), derived from weighted frequencies of 20 carbon-related terms in titles, abstracts, and keywords. Mean normalized CNOS values increase from 0.07-0.09 to 0.086-0.088, indicating strengthening but still partial integration of carbon-neutrality into sustainable agriculture research. Despite growth in mitigation-focused studies, persistent gaps remain in long-term carbon permanence, whole-farm greenhouse gas accounting, standardized monitoring–reporting–verification frameworks, and carbon-market integration. Overall, this study identifies where sustainable agriculture research is converging with carbon-neutral transitions and highlights priorities for future research and climate-aligned agri-food policy. • Mapped 1,422 Scopus articles (2010-2024) on agriculture and carbon neutrality • Developed a Carbon-Neutrality Orientation Score (CNOS) for research alignment • Post-2020 studies show ∼25% higher CNOS than pre-2015 literature • Revealed gaps in soil C permanence, farm-scale GHG accounting, and MRV systems

Sewage mismanagement remains a critical constraint to public health, environmental protection, and agricultural sustainability in developing countries. Globally, more than 80% of wastewater is discharged untreated, rising above 95% in low-income settings, while treatment coverage in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa remains below 30%. This review synthesizes evidence published between 2010–2024 and evaluates innovative sewage disposal pathways with explicit attention to agricultural reuse, where reported case studies indicate 10–20% crop-yield improvements alongside reduced fertilizer dependence when reuse is implemented safely. Beyond health impacts (including >1.6 million annual deaths linked to waterborne diseases) and economic burdens (approximately USD 260 billion/year in sanitation-related losses), the study provides (i) a comparative evidence base across nine treatment alternatives and (ii) a quantitative multi-criteria prioritization using AHP–TOPSIS. In the pooled descriptive statistics, mean reported performance centers around 85.78% BOD removal, 79.67% COD removal, and 78.67% pathogen reduction, with wide dispersion in cost and resource requirements. The AHP–TOPSIS results identify Trickling Filters as the top-ranked option (Ci = 0.7524), followed by UASB (Ci = 0.6959) and SBR (Ci = 0.6728), supporting robust selection under combined technical, economic, environmental, and social criteria.

Animal tuberculosis (TB) is a zoonosis maintained by various domestic and wild mammals in complex episystems. Higher competent host species richness at the community level promotes infection maintenance. Consequently, it has been proposed to go beyond the classic one- or two-host systems, where only certain species were considered maintenance hosts, to address "maintenance communities" of multiple hosts with different levels of contribution to infection maintenance. A further factor in TB epidemiology is the environment. In the Iberian Peninsula, water availability has a strong influence on TB in wildlife and livestock. However, the relative importance of any single host species, the richness and network of interactions in each community, or the environment in driving infection maintenance is unknown. We addressed this complexity using structural equation modelling (SEM), a framework to analyze complex relationships between multiple variables. We analyzed 18 multi-host communities and assessed the effects of climate (humidity), mammal diversity, and host (cattle, wild boar, and red deer) abundance and connectedness on TB prevalence in wild boar and cattle. Red deer abundance and connectedness and wild boar connectedness were positively correlated with TB prevalence in wild boar. Humidity was negatively correlated with TB prevalence in wild boar and cattle. Red deer connectedness and the diversity of the mammal community were positively correlated with TB prevalence in cattle, while wild boar abundance was negatively correlated. Through SEM, we integrated host abundance with community network parameters, mammal diversity, and climate to reveal the drivers of TB maintenance in multi-host systems. Climate effects were stronger on cattle TB than on wild boar TB and these effects were superimposed to other risk factors such as red deer abundance and host community structure. Our findings suggest that TB eradication in cattle could be particularly challenging in regions with high competent host species richness and arid climate, with implications for livestock health, economic sustainability of cattle farms, and reduction of zoonotic risk in rural areas.
