To curb stubble burning, pay attention to EPCA on making straw management machines affordable
The Financial Express, October 2, 2020
Abstract
Over 4-30% of fine particulate matter in Delhi comes from crop residue burning. To tackle this, making straw management machines affordable for farmers, along with providing training, can be a better solution than providing incentives, which would be costly in the long run. The long-term solution would be crop diversification, but it remains unlikely till the minimum support price–public procurement system remains in place. – AI-generated abstract.
