This document summarizes a presentation on greenhouse gas emissions from paddy fields and strategies for mitigation. It introduces that methane and carbon dioxide are the primary greenhouse gases emitted from flooded rice fields. It then discusses the causes of methane and carbon dioxide emissions from paddy soil and rice cultivation practices. Finally, it outlines techniques for mitigating methane emissions, such as alternate wetting and drying of fields, and for mitigating carbon dioxide emissions, including practices like no-till farming and agroforestry integration. The presentation concludes that a holistic approach combining these methane and carbon dioxide mitigation strategies can significantly reduce the climate impact of rice agriculture.
Global food production now faces greater challenges than ever before due to changing climate, increasing land degradation and decreasing nutrient use efficiency. Nutrient mining is a major cause of low crop yields in parts of the developing world. Especially nitrogen and phosphorus move beyond the bounds of the agricultural field due to inappropriate management practices as well as failure to achieve good congruence between nutrient supply and crop nutrient demand (Pandian et al. 2014). Climate changes raised a serious issue of soil health maintenance for future generations. Rise in temperature and unprecedented changes in precipitation pattern lead to soil degradation by the erosion of top fertile soil, loss of carbon, nitrogen and increasing area under saline, sodic and acid soils. The climate is one of the key elements impacting several cycles connected to soil and plant systems, as well as plant production, soil quality and environmental quality. Due to heightened human activity, the rate of CO2 is rising in the atmosphere. Changing climatic conditions (such as temperature, CO2 and precipitation) influence plant nutrition in a range of ways, comprising mineralization, decomposition, leaching and losing nutrients in the soil. In order to meet the food demand of the growing population, global food production must be increased substantially over the next several decades. Sustainable intensification of agriculture, based on proven technologies, can increase food production on existing land resources. Therefore, conservation and organic agriculture, precision farming, recycling of crop residues, crop diversification in soils and ecosystems, integrated nutrient management and balanced use of agricultural inputs are the proven technologies of sustainable intensification in agriculture. More importantly, among the climate smart agricultural practices, the selection of appropriate measures must be soil or site specific for sustaining resource base for future generations. Further, presentation must be initiated to fine-tune the existing climate-smart agriculture to suit different nutrient management practices.
Carbon Farming, A Solution to Climate Change.pptxNaveen Prasath
Global warming and climate change refer to an increase in average global temperatures over a very long period of time. Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures, This is caused primarily by increases in “greenhouse” gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
Indicators
Global Green House Gas emission
Atmospheric concentration of green house gases
Change in Temperature pattern
Change in precipitation pattern
Heat related deaths
Melting of Ice
Rise in sea level
Affecting crop production
Green house gases released by power plant, automobiles, deforestation etc
According to IPCC WG AR-5 the Earth’s average temperature has increased by one degree Fahrenheit to its highest level in the past four decade – believed to be the fastest rise in a thousand years.
Research found that if emissions of heat-trapping carbon emissions aren’t reduced, average surface temperatures could increase by 3 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century.
This presentation was made at "Orientation Programme for Government officials on Urbanization, Climate
Change and Water Issues" held on the 23rd of July.

8th May 2012, 13.00 - 16.30
Kulturhuset, Stockholm
Marja-Liisa Tapio-Biström, FAO, gives a global overview of carbon in soil.
Paddy fields account for around 20% of human-related emissions of methane — a potent greenhouse gas. Farmers normally flood rice fields throughout the growing season, meaning that methane is produced by microbes underwater as they help to decay any flooded organic matter
Main GHGs from agricultural lands are CH4 and N2O
GHG emission can be reduced by 60 % in 2050 through:
Removal of rice straws and through good management practices in paddy fields
Use alternatives to chemical fertilizer
CH4 reduction from livestock by improving feed quality and animal comfort
Reduce N2O emission in soils
Enhance C sequestration in paddy and rainfed uplands through ‘Evergreen Agro-ecosystem’ concept
Carbon stock in agricultural lands can be enhanced by improving land management practices
C sequestration in tea lands can be increased through: Agro-ecosystem approach; Crop diversification; Intercropping; Introduction of shade trees with optimum density; and Rehabilitation of old tea lands
C stock can be increased by 267 % by the year 2050 through Home Garden Intensification
If the proposed mitigation actions are implemented, the country will be able to achieve Net Zero by 2038.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Greenhouse gases emission in paddy field and
strategies for mitigation
3. Introduction
Paddy Field:-
Rice is a staple food in many part of the world
Paddy field are flooded or irrigated field used for growing rice
Paddy fields provide a significant portion of the worlds food (rice)
production making them crucial for food security
4. Green house gases:-
Gases trap heat in the earths atmosphere and contributing to global
warming and climate change
Introduction (cont.)
GHGs
• Methane
• Co2
• Nitrous Oxide
• Flourinated gases
Non GHGs
The major atmospheric
constituents
• Nitrogen(N2)
• Oxygen(O2)
• Argon(Ar)
• Other remaining gases
5. Introduction (cont.)
Impact of climate change and GHGs in Agriculture
Reduction in crop yield
Shortage of water
Irregularities in onset of monsoon, drought, flood and cyclone
Rise in sea level
Decline in soil fertility
Loss of biodiversity
Problem of pest, weed and diseases
6. GHGs emission from different sector
Source: IPCC (2014) Exit based on global emissions from 2010. Details about the sources included in these estimates can be found in the Contribution of Working Group III to the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change. Exit
7. GHGs emission from Agriculture sector
Source:Main sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the agricultural sector in 2005 (Smith et al., 2007)
8. Types of green house gases in paddy field
Methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are the primary greenhouse gases
emitted from paddy fields.
Paddy fields emit these gases during various stages of rice cultivation, including
flooding, cultivation, and residue decomposition.
9. Why methane emission is more in rice field ?
• Anaerobic Environment: Paddy fields are flooded,
creating anaerobic (low oxygen) conditions ideal for
methane-producing microbes.
• Decomposing Organic Matter
• Methanogenic Microbes: Specific microbes called
methanogens thrive in waterlogged soils and
produce methane during their metabolic
processes.
• Rice Roots: Rice
plants release organic
compounds into the
soil that further fuel
methanogenesis by
methanogens.
10. Methane emission on rice field by country
Source: World Bank staff calculation based on FAOSTAT and CAIT Climate Data Explorer 2018
11. Why carbon-dioxide emission is more in paddy field ?
• Deforestation: Clearing land for
paddy fields often involves
cutting down forests, releasing
CO2 stored in trees and forest
soils.
• Fossil Fuel Use: The use of
machinery and energy-
intensive practices in rice
farming generates CO2
emissions.
• Land Use Changes: Conversion
of natural landscapes into rice
fields results in CO2 release
from vegetation and soil.
Pic:- Deforestation
12. • Post-Harvest and Processing: Activities like
rice milling and transportation can lead to
CO2 emissions, particularly if powered by
fossil fuels.
• Chemical Fertilizers: The production and
application of chemical fertilizers in rice
farming contribute to CO2 emissions.
• Residue Burning: In some regions, farmers
burn rice straw after harvest, releasing CO2
into the atmosphere.
• Residue Decomposition: When rice straw
is left in the fields to decompose, it
releases CO2 as it breaks down

Pic:- Residue Burning in Paddy Field
13. • Alternate Wetting and Drying
(AWD): Periodically drying
the fields to reduce methane
emissions.
• Improved Water
Management: Controlled
irrigation to minimize
waterlogged conditions and
methane production.
• Amending Soil Conditions:
Adding organic amendments
to promote beneficial
microbial activities and
reduce methane production.
Mitigation strategies of methane in paddy field
Pic:- Alternate watering in paddy
14. • Use of Fertilizers: Applying fertilizers in
a way that minimizes their impact on
methane-producing microbes.
• Rice Varieties Selection: Choosing rice
varieties that produce less methane
during cultivation. Eg. SUSIBA2
• Residue Management: Proper
handling of rice residues to minimize
methane emissions during
decomposition.
• Biochar Application:Apply biochar to
the soil to enhance carbon
sequestration and reduce methane
production.
• Precision Farming Practices
Mitigation strategies of methane in paddy field(cont..)
Pic:- Biochar
15. Mitigation strategies of CO2 in paddy field
Reduced Fossil Fuel Use:Minimize the use of
fossil fuel-powered machinery for land
preparation and irrigation.
Sustainable Land Use Practices:Avoid
deforestation and practice sustainable land
management to preserve carbon stored in
forests and soils.
Low-Carbon Input Agriculture:Promote
practices that reduce the use of energy-
intensive synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
No-Till Farming:Implement no-till or
reduced-till farming to conserve soil carbon
and reduce CO2 emissions from soil
disturbance. Pic:- Reduced Till Paddy farming
16. Organic Farming Methods:Encourage
organic farming practices that focus on
natural fertilizers, cover cropping, and
composting to sequester carbon.
Agroforestry Integration:Integrate trees
and shrubs into rice fields, enhancing
carbon sequestration and reducing
emissions.
Straw Management:Promote the
incorporation of rice straw back into
fields, reducing carbon losses during
burning or decomposition
Mitigation strategies of CO2 in paddy field(cont…)
Pic:- Straw management on Paddy field in Nepal
17. Conclusion
• Addressing greenhouse gas
emissions in paddy fields,
particularly methane and carbon
dioxide, is vital for sustainable
rice cultivation. A holistic
approach that combines
methane and CO2 mitigation
strategies can significantly
reduce the environmental
footprint of rice farming,
contributing to climate change
mitigation and food security.
