Abstract
Agriculture is the primary contributor for greenhouse gas (GHG), with rice being a driver to global warming due to large number of GHGs emissions, having importance as a staple food for more than half of the world’s population. Global rice demand to fulfil hunger requirement will enhance GHG emissions due to its cultivation under paddy rice conditions that have detrimental effects on the environment results in more GHGs. Agriculture is the major contributor for CH4 emission under paddy soils, which have increased by methanogen activity resulting in CH4 production, a major end product in the anaerobic food chain (CH4-producing bacteria). Because anaerobic conditions enhance the performance of methanogens, which leads to the utilization of organic carbon and its conversion into CH4 through a process called methanogenesis, anaerobic conditions are the biochemical routes of CH4 generation. Therefore, it is in dire need of time to study the impacts of the paddy rice system and possible alternative ways to develop critical understanding to mitigate CH4. In this chapter, production technologies and importance of rice as a staple food were elucidated. Furthermore, the impacts of different production technologies to mitigate CH4 production was also discussed critically. However, future research directions and major research gaps have been identified.
