Low-cost quantification of greenhouse gas emissions in smallholder agro-ecosystem: a comparative analysis of methods
Agriculture is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally. The growing global population is putting pressure on agricultural production systems that aim to secure food production while minimising GHG emissions. In this study, the GHG emissions associated with the production of majo...

Greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural food production to supply Indian diets: Implications for climate change mitigation
Conservation agriculture (CA) can increase resilience to climate change and has the potential
to contribute to climate change mitigation. The benefits of CA are highly site- specific. Innovative approaches are needed to overcome barriers for uptake of CA by smallholders.

Site-Specific Nutrient Management (SSNM) provides guidance relevant to the context of farmers' fields. SSNM maintains or enhances crop yields, while providing savings for farmers through more efficient fertilizer use. By minimizing fertilizer overuse, greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced, in s...
