Impact of Agriculture on Climate change

1. Deforestation (for the expansion of agricultural land) releases CO2.
2. Intensification of irrigated paddy production which is considered as chimney of the CH4 emission.
3. Crop residue burnings releases green house gases.
4. Methane is released from enteric fermentation in coffee, nitrous oxide releases from fertilizer application. 64% of the global nitrous oxide emission is chiefly due to fertilizer application.
5. Intensification of the livestock production system (CH4 release)
6. Use of the modern equipment (e.g. tractor) that uses Fossil fuels releases CO2.
