Sustainable agricultural practices for reducing greenhouse gas emissions

Thesis Abstract

The agricultural sector is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily through the release of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). However, there is a growing need to adopt sustainable agricultural practices that can mitigate these emissions and contribute to climate change mitigation efforts. This abstract explores various strategies and techniques that can be implemented in agriculture to reduce GHG emissions, including improved soil management, precision nutrient application, agroforestry, and renewable energy use. The potential benefits, challenges, and future prospects of these sustainable practices are discussed, highlighting their role in achieving a more environmentally friendly and climate-resilient agricultural sector.
