Abstract
As a result of human activities, the production of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere has increased in the past few hundred years, which has contributed to the phenomenon of climate change. As the emissions of methane, a significant greenhouse gas, have risen tremendously in recent years, especially from the agricultural sector, numerous studies have been undertaken to find efficient methods for reducing these emissions. A major focus of this chapter is on reducing the amount of methane emitted from livestock production, particularly animal waste, and offers biological alternatives that include the use of biofertilizers and biochar, the microbial conversion of methane, genetic modification, and biogas production. It is also suggested that precision agriculture (PA) policies and digital innovations, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and robotic systems, be implemented to carefully monitor the application of manure to farms. Furthermore, government economic plans, such as offering financial assistance to farmers to minimize greenhouse gas emissions, which can be beneficial in lowering methane emissions. Although several strategies have been recommended to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, there has been no discernible shift in atmospheric methane concentrations; this would suggest that regulations such as PA on farms are not being carried out effectively. Climate change and global warming will worsen over the next few decades if no urgent action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
