Methane from Rice Paddies
Paddy rice farming under flooded conditions leads to methane production. Mitigation options are water management, midseason drainage, and alternate wetting and drying techniques.
Methane Emissions from Enteric Fermentation
Enteric fermentation in ruminants is a major source of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Mitigation strategies include diet optimization to improve digestion and selective breeding of less emitting animals.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Manure Management
Manure management can lead to emissions of methane and nitrous oxide. Strategies to mitigate these emissions include composting, anaerobic digestion, and proper manure storage and application.
Nitrous Oxide from Soil Management
Soil management practices, such as the use of synthetic fertilizers, contribute to nitrous oxide emissions. Mitigation can be achieved by precision agriculture and using organic fertilizers.
Carbon Dioxide from Deforestation
Conversion of forests to agriculture land releases significant amounts of CO. Mitigation includes reduction of deforestation, reforestation, and sustainable land management practices.
