Agriculture exploring emission reduction strategies

In Short

The agricultural sector is actively pursuing improved methods and new technologies to reduce its emissions.

A Few Details

Efforts are underway to develop innovative practices that reduce carbon dioxide and methane emissions in food production. This area of research is gaining attention from scientists, universities, and the media.
-Fertilizer use could be minimized through better management practices that prevent runoff during rainfall.
-New dietary supplements for livestock are being researched to reduce methane emissions.
-Enhanced land management practices could decrease emissions from soil and tilling.
-GMO seeds are being explored to increase crop productivity without the need for excessive fertilizers and to reduce the need for tilling, which releases emissions.
