Abstract/Description: | Global warming is a prominent environmental issue of the twenty-first century. Agriculture contributes to the global warming primarily through the emission and consumption of greenhouse gases (GHGs), viz. methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide. The major sources of emission of GHGs in the agriculture sector are enteric fermentation, rice cultivation, agricultural soils, manure management and on-field burning of crop residue. There are some indirect sources also like manufacturing of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc. Therefore, it is highly pertinent to develop such technologies that help in reducing GHGs emission from agriculture. It will not only mitigate climate change but also reduce consumption of costly inputs by enhancing their use-efficiency causing an increase in farmers’ income. This book has presented the potential of some low carbon technologies for reducing the emission of GHGs from agriculture by studying the production system of two major crops, viz. rice and wheat in the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP). Various constraints and interventions required to promote the mitigation strategies have also been outlined. I congratulate the authors and the editors in bringing out its book. I am sure that the book will be a valuable reference source for researchers as well as policy makers in promoting low carbon technologies for agriculture in different regions of the country |
