Crop Residue Burning: Its Impact and Management

India being the second largest agro-based economy with year-round crop cultivation, generates a large amount of agricultural waste, including crop residues. A huge amount of land is used for farming and a wide range of crops are cultivated in its different agro-ecological regions. Crop residue burning has developed into a significant environmental issue that affects human health and contributes to global warming. The global economic expansion is greatly influenced by the agricultural sector. The world's food output has greatly increased as a result of the rising food demand in developing nations.
