Agricultural activities such as land clearing, cultivation of annual crops, irrigation, animal husbandry, fisheries and aquaculture have a significant impact on greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission and climate change. All the above changes will put tremendous pressure on agriculture resulting in considerable changes in emission of GHGs. Understanding trends in GHGs, their drivers, and the connection between the two is essential for understanding the need for mitigation and adaptation. Carbon dioxide is the most important anthropogenic GHGs followed by methane and nitrous oxide. The international community under the auspices of the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is engaged in developing the policy to reduce GHGs emission and minimize the risks of climate change. Several attempts have been made to measure the emissions of GHGs from agriculture including crop husbandry, animal husbandry and aquaculture. However, there are uncertainties in the measurements mainly because of the differences in the methodologies followed for such measurements. A standard methodology, therefore, should be followed to get uniformity and robustness in the data. The Manual on Measurement of Greenhouse Gas Emission from Crop, Livestock and Aquaculture describes the methodologies for measurements of GHGs emission from various sub-sectors of agriculture in a simple and lucid way so that a researcher can adopt those methodologies easily. I appreciate the efforts made by the authors and the editors in bringing out this Manual. I am sure this Manual will be useful for students and researchers engaged in GHGs emission and mitigation studies in agriculture. Not Available |
