Why in News:
- Farmers in Vietnam are adopting innovative techniques to reduce methane emissions by changing how they grow rice.
Rice paddies contribute roughly 8% of human-made methane in the atmosphere. |
Innovative Techniques:
- Irrigation Method: Farmers utilize alternate wetting and drying (AWD) irrigation, reducing water usage compared to traditional methods and subsequently lowering methane production.
- Drone Usage: Drones are employed for crop fertilization, cutting down on labor costs.
- Effective Stubble Usage: Instead of burning rice stubble, it is repurposed as livestock feed and for cultivating straw mushrooms, mitigating air pollution.
