Greenhouse Gases Emission from Rice Paddy Ecosystem and their Management

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Crop Improvement Under Adverse Conditions

Abstract

Various research works across the globe have shown that climate change impacts the agriculture differently at different locations. It is also true that agriculture affects climate quite significantly. Emission of Greenhouse gases (GHGs) from rice paddy system is one of the important examples of agriculture’s impact on climate system. Intensive research on this topic in the last few decades has provided various mitigative options. While some of these options are readily implementable, some other options have been successful only at the laboratory level. Yet some other options, of the nature of ‘farming practices’, are well understood and have been adopted in many parts of the world. However, the plant development path of mitigating GHGs from agricultural cropping systems has not yet been well established. As such, more aggressive research strategies and field validations are needed for establishing ‘plant development’ as a sustainable tool for GHG mitigation in agriculture sector.
