4 GHG mitigation through CDM Indian Agriculture Projects
5 GHG mitigation through CDM Indian A/R Projects
6 CDM activities in India Afforestation and Reforestation (A/R) Projects: C - sequestration projects is a win-win-situation from the point of view of climate change It is estimated that if 30 Mn ha of degraded forest lands in India, if afforestated will mitigate 3.32 GT carbon in next 50 years (@5.5 tonnes/ha/yr productivity) A possible fund flow opportunity to India. It means annual carbon reduction of GT C - sequestration projects help reduce C0 2 foot print of the industry ITC is a Carbon Positive Corporation.
7 ITC s Social & Farm Forestry Initiative Greening over 1,25,000 hectares Social Contribution Providing Livelihood to poor Tribals and Marginal Farmers Creating 56 million person days of employment Environmental Impact Carbon Sequestration Augmenting Green Cover Top Soil Retention Water Recharge Economic Benefit to ITC A Competitive Source of Pulp-wood for ITC s Paper mill
8 GHG mitigation through CDM ITC case study salient features - Title: Reforestation of severely degraded landmass in Khammam District of Andhra Pradesh, India under ITC Social Forestry Project - UNFCCC Project No. 2241, Registered on 5 th June Methodology : ARAM 0001 version 5 2.

26 Climate Change & Agriculture CC affects agriculture and is a risk to food security Croplands, wetlands, pastures and forests play major role in CC If managed unsustainably or destroyed, they emit CO 2 / GHGs If managed sustainably they remove CO 2, store in biomass, soils and products Conservation agriculture, A/R, SFM, avoided deforestation, substitution of fossil fuels by bio-fuels etc mitigate CC
27 Carbon Dioxide emission in the atmosphere (Tons of carbon/person) 1. Agriculture Emissions (India) = 0.2 TC 2. Global average of carbon emission = 1.2 TC 3. Emission of Carbon (USA) = 5.0 TC
28 Climate Change & Agriculture Possible Projects for research under Agriculture scope - zero tillage reduce use of machinery /reduce use of fossil fuel - Crop establishment techniques which reduce fertilizers, herbicides, save seeds, reduce production cost, reduce water usage etc will qualify - Microdozing a new technology may also qualify - Productivity improvement (say in case of ITC R&D Productivity of Eucalyptus plantations improved through application of Genetics & silviculture from 6 tons/ha/yr to 25/t/ha/yr)
29 Climate Change & Agriculture - Shifting cultivation to full time agriculture - Waste stream from agriculture (for energy production) - N 2 O emissions reduction - Methane from animal waste - Fossil fuel consumption in agriculture - There are only 6 Methodologies available as of now. More methodologies are to be written and hence research / case studies are required - Policy: Redd+ initiative is likely to be a forest dept driven initiative. Policy change is required to assign role for private sector in REDD + and JFM
30 Climate Change & Agriculture * Agriculture CASE STUDY - CO 2 Enrichment research IARI, New Delhi * Effect of CO2 enrichment A. Climatic effect B. Biological effect absorption of longer wave length thermal radiation - CO 2 is a substrate and activator for photosynthetic carbon assimilation and concomitant photo- respiration and determination of stomatal aperture C. Response - crop studies done on temperate crops and research required in tropical and subtropical crops - Research conducted in closed chambers and its effect on large scale field experiment required for replication - Plant response to elevated CO 2 are required to develop genotypes and management practices thereon to withstand elevated CO 2 response
