| The layers of pollution and the difficulty of farmers | | | Dr. Vijay Garg
There has been an outcry due to the increasing level of pollution in the surrounding areas including Delhi. Sometimes Delhi’s air quality index i.e. AQI crosses the serious category and sometimes the highest temperature of the day demolishes all records. Diseases have increased significantly due to air pollution. Many times for AQAI, people start blaming the paraly burnt by farmers of Punjab, Haryana and West Uttar Pradesh almost unilaterally. The round of allegations by the state governments also starts. While not only in Delhi, but also in many other cities of the country, air pollution is very high. It is necessary to understand that blaming only farmers for greenhouse gas emissions is a short -sighted and ineffective approach. We should look beyond the smoky fields and examine the data that underline the real causes of our poisonous air. A report of the Science and Environment Center i.e. CSE has confirmed that the real reason behind Delhi’s continuous fog is not a distant paraly, but there are uninterrupted vehicles on the roads and local, uncontrolled factors. This is also confirmed by the 2018 Parliamentary Committee on Air Pollution status in National Capital Region including Delhi i.e. NCR, which described in detail the major factors contributing to pollution. According to this report, a huge amount of pollutants actually come out of vehicle emissions, construction and industrial emissions, smoke from burning garbage and road dust. It is often characteristic of uncontrolled, urban and industrial expansion. It is ironic that the smoke of Parali, hundreds of kilometers away for pollution in Delhi is said to be responsible for pollution, but when farmers struggle to get proper compensation, their plight is often not recorded even at the tehsil level It can only happen. The fact is that burning paraly contributes to the overall annual pollution load, except for strong wind days. In addition, farmers resort to it because it is a matter of economic survival and logical compulsion. They face a severely limited time limit between harvesting paddy and sowing the next crop of wheat, making the expensive and time -consuming option of passenger remains management economically impractical without sufficient government support. Blaming them is not the solution. “It is true that agriculture is also a source of greenhouse gas emissions. Mainly in the form of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), which are released during various agricultural activities. Livestock farming, rice cultivation and use of synthetic fertilizers are among the major contributors to these emissions. Although it is important to accept these facts, recognizing the complications of agricultural emissions is equally necessary. Farmers are the backbone of society, which is responsible for providing our food. Many farmers plow less to reduce environmental impact, crop cycle and accurate They are adopting sustainable practices like agriculture. They understand that a healthy environment is essential for long -term agricultural sustainability. Agriculture in India is not just a means of livelihood, but a way of life. The unexpected mood of the farmer weather, increasing costs, changing market demands And struggle with constant pressure to increase yields. Most farmers do not want to harm the environment. They feed the growing population of the world They are just trying to make a living. Instead of blaming farmers for their role in climate change, it is a more creative approach to provide incentives for sustainable agricultural practices. Many farmers are willing to adopt environmentally friendly methods, but they often need support from training to financial cooperation. Farmers often get subsidies and incentives from their governments in most countries to support agricultural production. These subsidies can vary widely in scope and nature, but they are usually aimed at ensuring food security, providing safety nets for farmers and promoting agricultural stability. Critics argue that some subsidies inadvertently encourage trends that lead to high emissions, such as excessive use of synthetic fertilizers. It is necessary to understand that these subsidies are mainly designed to address economic and food safety concerns. However, governments are now recognizing the importance of sustainable agricultural methods. Incentives are now being directed towards reducing carbon emissions and promoting environmentally friendly methods. In addition, it is necessary for the government to invest in research and development for more sustainable agricultural technologies. This includes the development of low -emission livestock fodder and promoting renewable energy sources on farms. Innovations such as precision agriculture, which includes the use of data and technology to optimize crop and livestock production, can significantly reduce resource waste and emissions. Forestry Effective policies are important to move farmers towards sustainable agriculture. Governments should encourage and financially to adopt environment-friendly farming methods through regulations and incentives.
Effective policies are important to move farmers towards sustainable agriculture. Governments should encourage the adoption of environment-friendly farming methods through regulations and incentives and continue to support financially. This includes incentives for practices such as organic farming, agriculture and precision agriculture, which have the potential to reduce emissions. Consumers also play a role in shaping agricultural methods. By choosing sustainable and environmentally conscious farm products, they can encourage such trends and contribute to market changes. Also education and awareness programs can help farmers to understand the environmental impact of their practices and the benefits of changing more sustainable approaches. The fight against climate change is a global effort, in which the cooperation of all sectors of society requires contributors and potential It is necessary to recognize the versatile role of farmers as a mitigation, both. Instead of standing farmers in Kathghare, we need to find solutions that meet both environmental and agriculture needs. Governments, societies and agricultural industry need to work together to provide the necessary support, incentive and education to facilitate transition to more sustainable and environmentally friendly farming practices. This collaborative approach can help balance the need for food production with environmental protection. A fair approach accepts the challenges faced by farmers while working collectively towards a more sustainable future. |
