Although the global situation is difficult due to the tariff war of US President Trump, we must not forget that carbon reduction in preparation for the climate crisis is essential.

Although carbon is emitted from energy use and daily life, there are many areas where it can be reduced in agriculture and livestock.

There are various ways to reduce greenhouse gases in the agricultural sector.

In the short term, it may be costly, but in the long term, it will be of great help in protecting the environment and realizing sustainable agriculture.

1 Use of low-cost fertilizers:

Using organic fertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers or adjusting the amount of fertilizer used appropriately can reduce nitrogen oxide (N2O) emissions. In addition, accurately distributing fertilizers can significantly reduce emissions.

2 Minimum tillage and green manure crops:

Carbon can be stored in the soil through minimum tillage, and growing green manure crops can increase the soil’s carbon storage capacity.

Indicator	Value	Source (Example)
Annual Agricultural CO₂ Emissions	Approximately 6-7Gt CO₂eq	FAO, IPCC
Percentage of Total Carbon Emissions from Agriculture	About 25% of total emissions	UN Environment Program
Major Emission Sources	Soil cultivation, livestock, fertilizer use	Research reports
Carbon Reduction Potential	Around 30-40%	Sustainable Agriculture Research Institute

3 Efficient water management:

Improving irrigation systems can increase water efficiency and reduce methane emissions. For example, avoiding flood irrigation and using alternative irrigation methods can reduce methane emissions.

4 Use of renewable energy:

Renewable energy such as solar and wind can be introduced to reduce fossil fuel use. This can be used for agricultural machinery and facilities.

5 Agricultural waste management:

Consider biogas production during the process of processing agricultural waste to reduce methane emissions. Biogas production is a good way to solve two problems at the same time.

6 Sustainable crop management:

Adopting sustainable crop management practices can help combat climate change and increase carbon sequestration capacity. Improving grazing systems is one way.

Category	Emissions (Gt CO₂eq)	Reduction Potential (%)
Total Agricultural Emissions	6-7	–
Soil Cultivation	2.5	30-40
Livestock Methane Emissions	2	20-30
Fertilizer Use	1.5	25-35

7 Land use change:

Land use change can be used to implement forest regeneration or other carbon sequestration activities. For example, planting trees on land where agricultural production has been reduced or stopped can encourage forest regeneration.
