Abstract

As per report of an International Energy Agency ,India emitted CO2 to the tune of 2,299
million in 2018.Of the gross national emission 18% is contributed by Agriculture and
livestock. Although the agricultural sector is liable for GHG emission led climatic change but
it bears the brunt of the change to a far greater extent than other major contributors. India is a
member of Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, International Plant
Protection Convention was signed in 1952 by India and ratified on 9 June, 1952 so the
intention is apparent to not fall behind in international regime of regulations and conventions.
However the particular hardships faced in our country are peculiar and political will and the
policies to surpass the same is paramount to overcome them.
