problem: 70 percent of the country’s arable land is be prone to drought, 12 percent to floods, and eight percent to cyclones. Moreover, the sector is major contributor to the problem, accounting for 27 % percent of gross emissions in India.
solution: (1) improving livestock productivity will reduce emissions, (2) improving water management (3) simple modernization such as land leveling, mulching, and crop diversification will reduce water and energy dependensy and (4) better subsidy alignment to encourage efficiency.
According to Swain, these are low hanging fruit, that easily reduce emmisions by 25%.
