This book collects information on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, especially from the agro-ecosystems. It highlights the GHG emission mitigation measures using environmentally viable and cost-effective technologies. The title deals with the evaluation of the emission of GHGs from different agriculture sources, estimates the emission trends, analyzes the affecting drivers and assesses the feasible and suitable mitigation options for local farmers. Agricultural activities including land clearing, crop cultivation, fertilizer application, irrigation pattern, animal husbandry and fisheries have a significant impact on GHG production and emissions. The application of excess amount of inorganic fertilizer to increase the crop production may also boost the emissions of GHGs from agricultural fields. Therefore, it is urgent to concurrently quantify the fluxes of GHGs, improve understanding of gaseous emissions from different agricultural sources and to develop mitigation strategies to reduce the future climate chaos. This book is of interest to the farmers, horticulturists, scientists, ecologists, and a valuable source of reference to the relevant researchers and students in the region. Also, the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of environmental science, agriculture, animal husbandry, ecology and soil science.
