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.
