- Soil carbon sequestration can help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions while improving soil quality and agricultural productivity, especially in rice-growing regions like India.
- Rice cultivation, while essential for feeding a large portion of India’s population, contributes significantly to methane emissions, particularly under continuous flooding conditions that promote methane generation.
- Sustainable agricultural practices, such as conservation agriculture and effective nutrient and water management, need to be adopted to enhance soil carbon storage and reduce methane emissions in lowland rice agroecosystems.
