Abstract/Description: | The increase of global warming risk is mainly due to increase in greenhouse gases (GHGs) concentrations in atmosphere. The contribution of agricultural systems to global climate change can be assessed through carbon footprint (CF). In this chapter, the CF of different agricultural systems with different crop systems in diverse soil types are highlighted. Although agricultural systems are a major source of GHGs, there are opportunities to reduce GHG emissions by adopting best management practices. Carbon footprint is the best indicator to measure GHG intensities related to human activity in different scenarios. Adopting less energy along with efficient use of resources can reduce the GHG emissions. There are various methods for evaluating the CF of different agricultural systems with various crop systems. Multiple functional units need to be used when assessing the CF of an agricultural system. One of the most important functions to be considered is the variation of SOC storage while evaluating CF in different agricultural systems. Carbon footprint estimates in context to agricultural systems help in increasing the understanding of factors behind differences in CF of different farms and systems. The accuracy of CF can be increased by using site-specific emission factors. This will provide an important information that helps to identify areas for decision-making for greenhouse gas mitigation. |
