Reducing methane emissions from small-scale farming
A new initiative to help developing countries lower methane emissions from small-scale farming was launched by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) at the AIM for Climate Summit in May 2023.
The new program will receive USD 3 million in support from the Global Methane Hub and USD 1 million from the US State Department.
Around 42 per cent of methane emissions come from the agriculture sector. They are primarily caused by flooded rice cultivation, the burning of crop residues, and livestock – through enteric fermentation and manure management.
