This research examined green production adoption in Iraq's food industry, analyzing drivers, carbon footprint effects, and consumer behavior. Using quantitative methods with 228 survey responses and SPSS analysis, it found green products reduce 53% of emissions, while economic barriers showed limited impact.

Recommendations include integrated financing, monitoring, and awareness programs to strengthen green transition. The study followed rigorous academic methodologies with verified data sources.
