New research from the University of Warwick and Cranfield University shows that genetic selection could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from crops, especially rice. Published in Frontiers in Agronomy, the study found that rice variety choice can influence methane emissions more than fertiliser use, offering a powerful tool for climate-smart agriculture. By breeding crops with traits that boost yield and reduce emissions, scientists say farmers can improve food security while cutting agriculture’s carbon footprint.
