This study investigates the influence of technological advancement, renewable energy consumption, and CO₂ emissions on agricultural productivity in Nigeria. Recognizing the pivotal role agriculture plays in Nigeria’s economic development and food security, this research explores how institutional quality influences the effectiveness of technology, clean energy, and environmental factors in enhancing agricultural outcomes. Employing the Dynamic Autoregressive Distributed Lag (DARDL) model, the analysis captures both the short-run and long-run dynamics among the variables using annual time series data from 1990 to 2023. The findings reveal that technological advancement and renewable energy consumption positively impact agricultural productivity, while CO₂ emissions exert a negative influence. Importantly, institutional efficiency significantly moderates these relationships, enhancing the positive effects of renewable energy and technology while mitigating the adverse impact of CO₂ emissions. The study underscores the importance of strengthening institutional frameworks to optimize the benefits of technological and environmental interventions in Nigeria’s agricultural sector. Policy recommendations are provided to support institutional reforms and sustainable agricultural practices.
