Although nitrogen (N) is the most limiting nutrient for agricultural production, its overuse associated with environmental pollution, increased concentration of greenhouse gases, and several human animal health implications. These implications are greatly affected by biochemical transformations losses N such as volatilization, leaching, runoff, denitrification. Half globally produced fertilizers used to grow three major cereals—rice, wheat, maize—and their current level recovery approximately 30–50%. The continuously increasing application fertilizers, despite lower cereals, can further intensify leftover N. To address these implications, improvement in use efficiency (NUE) adopting efficient agronomic practices modern breeding biotechnological tools developing cultivars requires immediate attention. Conventional marker-assisted selection methods be map quantitative trait loci, introgression elite germplasm leads creation better NUE. Moreover, gene-editing technology gives opportunity develop high-yielding improved utilization capacity. reliable cheap include site-specific management, enhanced resource conservation practices, precision farming, nano-fertilizers that help farmers reduce from soil–plant system, thus improving Our review illuminates insights into recent advances local scientific soil crop management technologies, along conventional technologies on how increase NUE linked pollution

Abstract Understanding the environmental consequences associated with dairy cattle production systems is crucial for implementation of targeted strategies emission reduction. However, few studies have modelled effect tailored mitigation options across key European systems. Here, we assess single and combined six practises on selected case Europe through Sustainable Integrated Management System Dairy Production model. This semi-mechanistic model accounts interacting flows from a whole-farm perspective simulating losses in response to different management site-specific conditions. The results show how reducing crude protein content purchased fraction diet was an adequate strategy reduce greenhouse gas nitrogen intensity all Furthermore, implementing anaerobic digestion plant reduced emissions tested while increasing intensity, particularly when slurry applied using broadcast. Regarding productivity increase, contrasting effects were observed amongst modelled. Moreover, shallow injection effectively mitigated fields due strong reductions ammonia volatilisation. When substituting urea ammonium nitrate as mineral fertiliser, conditions affected potential observed, discouraging its application sandy-loam soils. Rigid covers storage-related showing minor total intensity. In addition, our provide novel evidence regarding advantages cumulative adapted offset negative trade-offs single-option applications (i.e. or injection). Through this study, contribute better understanding Europe, thus facilitating adoption context-specific reduction strategies.

Abstract Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions from livestock manure contribute significantly to the growth of atmospheric N O, a powerful greenhouse gas and dominant ozone‐depleting substance. Here, we estimate global O during 1890–2020 using tier approach 2019 Refinement 2006 IPCC Guidelines. Global increased by ~350% 451 [368–556] Gg year −1 in 1890 2042 [1677–2514] 2020. These contributed ~30% anthropogenic decade 2010–2019. Cattle most (60%) increase, followed poultry (19%), pigs (15%), sheep goats (6%). Regionally, South Asia, Africa, Latin America dominated since 1990s. Nationally, largest were found India (329 ), China (267 United States (163 Brazil (129 ) Pakistan (102 2010s.

Land-based climate mitigation strategies for achieving net zero emissions in India

Frontiers in Climate, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 7

Published: Feb. 18, 2025

Despite advancements in electrification and the transition to solar-based electricity production, India will continue depend on land-based carbon offsets achieve its net-zero target. Land-based climate mitigation strategies can be implemented by utilizing underutilized marginal lands or increasing land availability through technological interventions close agricultural yield gaps. Both below-ground (e.g., soil carbon) above-ground standing tree biomass) options offer viable pathways for such measures. Key include cultivating perennial bioenergy feedstocks, afforestation, establishing fast-growing Miyawaki forests, restoring wetlands mangroves, applying biosolids land. However, caution is essential prevent unintended consequences, as clearing natural forests introducing microplastics into soils. The cost of sequestration resilience permanence stored critical factors determining preferred approach. Additionally, often overlap spatially, making GIS-based tools indispensable identifying optimal solutions tailored local conditions. Integrating these national budget enhance transparency contribute significantly India’s emissions goal.
