The burning of crop residue has greatly contributed to air pollution worldwide. It could cause a matter of national concern as it can affect human health. With this, the Nature Conservancy in India has initiated a promotion to develop science-based solutions to prevent gas emissions.
Afterward, it promotes Happy Seeder’s use that arms farmers with a tool for crop residue management. It is a tractor that cuts and lifts rice straw and turn it into mulch. This equipment can also help farmers save from fuel, farm labor and reduces chemical use.
Moreover, it can also improve soil biodiversity and reduces greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. No burn agriculture is a non-toxic solution that affects farmers’ lives and keeps our environment safe to live in.
