Estimation of carbon emission from agricultural and pasture field

Environmental imprints of agricultural and livestock produce: A scoping review from South Asian countries

“…Methane emissions ranged from 111.57 to 133.07 Gg over the years 2000–2010 41 . Similar to the studies by Pokhrel and Soni, 38,39 Timilsina et al 36 reported the highest CO 2 emissions from the vegetable field (compared to cereal and tea), particularly from the field of standing chilly crop (322/mg/m 2 /h), with the reason being the same, that is, application of nitrogenous fertilisers. Other than fertilisers, sources of environmental pollution from the agricultural field are usually diverse, of which few are under‐represented.…”

“…Among all livestock products, particularly the production of mutton/pork/bovine meat F I G U R E 3 Environmental variables assessed in the included studies. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][43][44][45]56 had the highest GHG emissions. 16,17,19,21,22 In a few studies where the authors considered dairy products along with eggs and meat in the category of livestock, based on the consumption pattern of Indians, dairy products or eggs contributed a greater percentage of GHG emissions compared to meat.…”

“…With almost 66% of people earning their livelihood in the agriculture sector, Nepal can be deemed as an agriculture-based country. In our review, all five studies [36][37][38][39][40] identified from Nepal focused on GHG emissions. Two studies 38,39 conducted by Pokhrel and Soni 38,39 utilised primary data collected from farmers (information about inputs such as seeds, labour, draft animal, farmyard manure, chemical fertilisers, diesel fuel, farm machinery and farm tools).…”
