← Emission Reduction Strategies
Implementing water-saving techniques such as alternate wetting and drying (AWD) in rice paddies can significantly reduce methane emissions and water usage.
Developing and cultivating improved rice varieties that require less water and are more resistant to pests and diseases can reduce the need for water and chemical inputs.
Optimizing fertilizer use through precision agriculture techniques reduces the release of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas, and improves the efficiency of rice production.
Proper management of rice crop residues, including composting or incorporation into the soil, can enhance soil health and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Utilizing renewable energy sources for rice production activities, such as solar-powered irrigation, can reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower carbon emissions.
