Use of Biochar for Soil Health Enhancement and Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in India: Potential and Constraints
Jul 10, 2023
Climate change is threatening food security globally. Countries like India are more
vulnerable in view of the tropical monsoon climate and poor coping capacity of the
small and marginal farmers. Several agricultural practices like indiscriminate use
of agro-chemicals and crop residue burning contribute to emission of greenhouse
gasses leading to warming of the atmosphere.

Sequestration of carbon both in the vegetation and soil is the most effective means of mitigating GHG emissions. There
are several strategies of soil carbon sequestration which can be adopted at farm level. These include: conservation agriculture, biomass recycling, crop rotations and use of organic amendments
