 Agriculture is the second largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, mainly due to the release of methane and nitrous oxide from livestock and soil decomposition. However, there are ways to mitigate these emissions through improved management practices, such as using more efficient machinery and fertilizers, planting cover crops, and utilizing better irrigation techniques. Cover crops have been shown to be particularly effective in capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in the soil, leading to increased yields for the main crop. Additionally, catch crops can help improve soil health and provide protection against pests and diseases. This article was authored by Caesaree A.
