Rice-wheat system Punjab: alternatives to crop residue burning

This research paper examines black carbon emissions from crop residue burning in Indian Punjab, analyzing the social-ecological drivers and value chains of rice and wheat production to identify systemic barriers and potential transformative solutions.

• Crop residue burning in Indian Punjab produces particulate matter that negatively affects health, the climate, and agricultural production, persisting despite legal barriers, technological alternatives, and the fact that some alternatives are more profitable for farmers.
