Abstract
Current agricultural practices contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. The majority of non-CO2 emissions of agriculture include methane (54%), nitrous oxide (28%) and carbon dioxide (18%), which collectively account for 12% of the world's yearly greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (7.1 Gt CO2 equivalent). GHG emissions contribute to agricultural activity in direct and indirect activities, accounting for 30% of total global anthropogenic GHG emissions. Agriculture serves a major role in climate change. Agricultural practices lead to the emission of greenhouse gases. Moreover, conventional farming uses synthetic fertilisers. Deforestation and soil degradation are examples of inappropriate land use practices that lower the amount of organic matter in soil. The inappropriate carbon footprint of agriculture is a result of these activities as well as the wasteful use of inputs like water. carbon-neutral methods that reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the production of crops and livestock, and agricultural rice, enteric fermentation, and manure. Agriculture use the renewable energy irrigation source they help to reduce the GHG emissions. It also help to Sustainable development goal climate change.it is crucial role in the climate resilience.
These include switching to alternative rice farming techniques, using technologies for managing nitrogen fertilisers, decarbonising on-farm energy use, and developing feeding and breeding strategies that lower enteric methane. When taken as a whole, these actions can cut agricultural GHG emissions by as much as 45%. However, to achieve net-zero agriculture, carbon dioxide removal technology offsets will be needed to balance residual emissions of 3.8 Gt CO2 equivalent per year. Bioenergy with improved carbon collection and storage. Greenhouse Gas emissions profound influence on their effects. Here an overview of inventions and technology was provided with the aim of lowering greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. The study concluded that the rate and amount of SOC sequestration differ with soil types, depths, land use and land cover and vary from one region to another. Sequestration of carbon in soil can improve soil health, and improvement in soil health will help in improving input use efficiency in agriculture. Thus sequestering carbon in soil and biota can mitigate climate change.
