Agriculture is responsible for providing us with a lot of sources of food on a daily basis. These agricultural practices if not managed coherently will cause a lot of issues in global warming and can have a negative impact too. There is a big turnover of events that have shown evident problems in the worldly global warming issues.
Let us have a look at some of the ways to reduce the greenhouse gas emission for a safer and a better future.
1. Microbial Ecosystems:
Exploring the microbial ecosystems and the use of such microbes for effective agricultural ways will be much handy to reduce the greenhouse impacts. According to the research, the emissions from greenhouse gases can be reduced to a healthy extent, when it comes to agriculture and thorough patented research.
2. Manure Management:
This is a part of livestock managing procedures where you can select the regional forages and manage the grazing of the livestock. With the adoption of rotational grazing as a practice, you may have a comparatively high-quality feed from the manure that would reduce the methane release from the fermentation. Post collecting the manure, cover them and optimize the application of manure to the soil which will capture the methane for a longer time in the soil.
3. Carbon Sequestration:
An agricultural ecosystem has a plus point of being the carbon reserve for the farms and other farm-related practices. With carbon sequestration what one gets is an increase in the stored quantity or reduction in the loss of the stored carbon. Crop rotations and decreasing the bare fallows in the field will be an addition to it. As a part of soil conservation, one can avoid the fertilizers being applied and establish the agroforestry systems once and for all.
4. Switching the fuels:
Each farm-related activity has diverse open doors for the preservation of energy as well as the fuel switching. A few models include the conduction of an on-farm, all-fuel way of assessing the energy in order to distinguish energy sparing chances. Making sure that all warming and cooling steps are in order will be another advantage. Choosing the electrically powered motors instead of some fossil-fuel operating ones will show an effective reduction in the greenhouse gas emission.
5. Manufacturing Energy On-farm:
With more renewable resources at exposure, one can replace them with fossil fuel usage. The reducing GHG on and off-farm can be controlled likewise. With lesser priced and economically diversified opportunities why not opt for a non-fossil fuel using producers in agriculture. Basic technologies that are considered under On-farm manufacturing are electrification, gasification, using wind-energy, geothermal energy, photovoltaic usages, biofuels production from the crop residues etc.
While agricultural emissions may not be more than 4% still keeping a tab on the same will be of many advantages for a really long time to come. Take measures and effective incorporations of tools.
