This research investigated the total decoupling between CO2 emissions and agricultural growth in Iran, India, Korea, Russia, China, the United States, Japan, Canada, and Germany employing the Tapio decoupling index and Logarithmic Mean Division Index (LMDI) methods The decomposing of the total decoupling index revealed that the energy intensity effect was the main decisive factor for CO2 emissions reduction across all countries while the global innovation efficiency effect was a primary contributor in Korea, Japan, the United States, Germany, China, and Russia specifically in Korea energy intensity and global innovation efficiency were the leading promoters for Canada energy intensity was the most important factor for emissions reduction in China the United States and Germany energy intensity and global innovation efficiency were the main promoters in Russia energy intensity global innovation efficiency and the structure effect all played important roles carbon emissions coefficient was the most critical factor in Iran’s decoupling and for India the energy intensity and structure effects were the key promoting factors these findings underscore that strategic measures for sustainable development must aim to decrease energy intensity consumption and that innovations are crucial for mitigating fossil fuel use and reducing emissions the results provide a useful guideline for energy-saving and carbon-reducing policies to foster sustainable
