It is highly pertinent to develop such technologies that help in reducing GHGs emission from agriculture. It will not only mitigate climate change but also reduce consumption of costly inputs by enhancing their use-efficiency causing an increase in farmers’ income. This report has presented the potential of some low carbon technologies for reducing the emission of GHGs from agriculture by studying the production system of two major crops, viz. rice and wheat in the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP). Various constraints and interventions required to promote the mitigation strategies have also been outlined.
