Agricultural chemical intensification and ecological footprint comparative analysis of pesticide and insecticide consumption
This study examines whether rising pesticide and insecticide use in Nigeria from 1990 to 2024 is associated with a larger ecological footprint, using long-run time-series methods that allow for gradual structural shifts. It finds that both chemical inputs are positively and significantly linked to the ecological footprint over the long run, while renewable energy consumption is associated with lower ecological pressure. The authors also report predictive causality between chemical use and the footprint in both directions, though the evidence for some relationships is weaker.
