Reduction of excess nutrient application and balanced fertilizer use are the key mitigation options in agriculture. We evaluated Nutrient Expert (NE) tool-based site-specific management (SSNM) rice wheat crops by establishing 1594 side-by-side comparison trials with farmers' fertilization practices (FFP) across Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) India. found that NE-based can lower global warming potential (GWP) about 2.5% rice, between 12 20% over FFP. More than 80% participating farmers increased...
Agriculture in South Asia is highly vulnerable to climate change due increasing variability rainfall and rising temperatures leading the incidence of extreme climatic events such as floods, droughts, heat/cold waves, storms. sector also contributes causes through emission greenhouse gasses (GHGs). Hence, adaptation-led mitigation measures are required sustain agricultural productivity, farm income reduce GHG emissions wherever possible. This study presents a systematic review agriculture...
Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) has a significant role to play in reducing the gender gap labor burden for women agriculture. A targeted approach address this can be useful developing women-responsive climatic risk management plan focused on their agriculture, especially areas with high climate risks. The paper therefore presents top–down identify potential labor-saving CSA technologies farmers facing It involves mapping risks, and poverty hotspots entails understanding of agricultural...
Global and national agricultural development policies normally tend to focus more on enhancing farm productivity through technological changes than better use of existing technologies. The role improving technical efficiency in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction from crop production is the least explored area sector. But necessary context limited availability natural resources (particularly land water) need for GHG emission agriculture Technical gains process are linked with amount...
Small landholders can implement a range of climatesmart agricultural (CSA) practices and technologies, in order to minimize the adverse effects climate change variability, but their adoption largely depends on economic benefits associated with practices. To demonstrate potential CSA practices, we conducted study smallholder farmers Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) India. Among technologies including use improved crop varieties, laser land levelling, zero tillage, residue management, site specific...
Climate-smart interventions in agriculture have varying costs and environmental economic impacts. Their implementation requires appropriate investment decisions by policy makers that are relevant for current as well future scenarios of agro-ecology, climate development. Decision support tools therefore needed to assist different stakeholders prioritize hence implement strategic interventions. These transform ecosystems climate-resilient, adaptive efficient. This paper outlines the...
Gender integration across national policy processes is critical to ensure effective implementation of climate change adaptation interventions in agriculture. This especially so for countries like Nepal, where vulnerability and women participation agriculture high, accompanied by gender gaps access information, technologies, markets labour burden. To do this, it becomes necessary address the inter-related issues gender, instead looking at them isolation. study, therefore, highlights suggest a...

Maize and wheat are major cereals that contribute two-thirds of the food energy intake globally. The two crops consume about 35% nitrogen (N) fertilizer used in agriculture thereby to fertilizer-induced nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. Thus, estimation spatially disaggregated N2O emissions from maize fields on a global scale could be useful for identifying emission mitigation hotspots. It also needed prioritizing options consistent with location-specific production environmental goals. four...
Abstract More than one-quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture, forestry, and land-use change. As with other sectors economy, agriculture should also contribute to meeting countries’ emission reduction targets. Transformation low-carbon food systems requires much larger investments in low development options global climate finance, domestic budgets, private sector. Innovative financing mechanisms instruments that integrate sector investment can improve increase...
