New Alliance to Study Greenhouse Gases in Agriculture

Experts say that agriculture provides fourteen percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emission each year. The gases released include carbon dioxide, a major cause of global warming. Twenty-one nations around the world recently joined forces to better understand and prevent greenhouse gas emissions from farms. The Global Research Alliance of Agricultural Greenhouse Gases was launched at the United Nations conference on climate change.

Agricultural experts blame a number of farm activities for producing greenhouse gases. For example, animal waste and cattle digestive systems release methane gas. Fertilized soil and the burning of crop waste also release harmful gases into the air. Experts say some methods of tilling – turning the soil to prepare for planting –also release harmful carbon dioxide. Some experts suggest that farmers should feed animals a diet designed to reduce methane gas and that the world needs to develop better farming methods to feed growing populations in poor country

It is important to get together for worldwide to reduce the methane gas and greenhouse gases. I think the developed countries must invent method and animal’s food, and they should provide them for developing countries.
