Define the social dynamics and stakeholder interests involved in crop residue burning, including farmers, government agencies, environmental activists, and industries. Evaluate the existing conflicts and cooperation mechanisms among these stakeholders and analyze the feasibility of a comprehensive, inclusive approach to resolving the issue. Conclude by discussing the potential role of social movements and awareness campaigns in shaping public opinion and driving change.
In fact control of burning of crop residue to prevent environmental degradation and loss of soil nutrients and minerals by promotion of in-situ management (incorporation in soil, mulching, baling/binding for use as domestic/industrial fuel, fodder) of crop residue. Composting, making biochar, and mechanization are a few effective sustainable solutions that can assist in resolving the issue while maintaining the nutrients found in the agricultural residue in the soil. In-situ Crop Residue Management- CRM machines procurement, setting up of Custom Hiring Centers, high yield and short duration paddy varieties, staggering of harvesting schedule, extensive use of bio-decomposer. The amount of residues is directly related to crop production, and depends on yield and cultivated area. The availability of residues depends on the amount that can be removed from land to maintain land fertility and on their competitive use for agricultural or industrial purposes. Crop residue management is a widely used in agriculture land conservation practices. It provides various amounts of soil nutrients for increasing the production of crop. Proper management of crop residues can provide several benefits for farmers and the environment, such as improving soil health, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and providing a renewable energy source.
