“…Also, the production (in dairy and poultry farms, composting facilities, etc.) and on-farm use of these additives are characterized with high greenhouse gas emissions [1] (Tuomisto et al 2012;Fukumoto et al 2015;Owen and Silver 2015). Ultimately, the relatively slower turnover of organic additives compared to chemical ones makes their nutrient content to be of moderate availability in the short run, restraining the rate of crop yield productivity [2] (Magen 2008;Chivenge et al 2011; New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Markets, and Food 2011).…”

Soil tillage, crop residue management, nutrient management, and pest management are among the core farming practices. Each of these practices impacts a range of soil functions and ecosystem services, including water availability for crops, weed control, insect and pathogen control, soil quality and functioning, soil erosion control, soil organic carbon pool, environmental pollution control, greenhouse gas refuse, and crop yield productivity. In this study, we reviewed relevant bibliography and then developed a simple conceptual model, in which these soil functions and ecosystem services were scored and compared between conventional, conservation, and integrated agricultural systems. Using this conceptual model revealed that the overall agro-environmental score, excluding crop yield productivity, is largest for conservation systems (71.9 %), intermediate for integrated systems (68.8 %), and the smallest for conventional systems (52.1 %). At the same time, the crop yield productivity score is largest for integrated systems (83.3 %), intermediate for conventional systems (66.7 %), and the smallest for conservation systems (58.3 %). This study shows the potential of moderate-intensity and integrated farming systems in carrying on global food security while adequately sustaining environmental quality and ecosystem services.

“…On the other hand, the decomposition of animal waste on farmland emits a substantial amount of harmful environmental gases, including GHGs (N2O, CO2 and CH4), which are generated via both nitrification and denitrification processes as intermediate products or byproducts of animal waste decomposition [13]. Manure production and management are the largest source of N2O emissions (2.8 Tg N2O-N yr −1 ), accounting for 44% of the global total N2O emissions [14].…”

“…On the other hand, NH3 emissions may also be reduced by covering manure [20]. Several treatment technologies, such as manure separation [24], anaerobic digestion [25], aeration [26,27] and chemical additive application [22], using nitrite-oxidizing bacteria and struvite crystallization [13], can mitigate GHG emissions from livestock manure.…”

“…Intensive grazing and forage growth may deplete soil quality. Although animal wastes may be used as a nutrient source for plants, their decomposition releases several kinds of greenhouse gases (GHGs) that are harmful to the environment [13]. A possible solution for this problem is pyrolyzing animal wastes to create green fertilizer or a soil amendment called biochar.…”

The increased animal production in recent decades has increased manure production, which has become a significant source of agricultural waste. Although the abundant nutrient content in manure has the potential to be used as an alternative fertilizer, its natural decomposition process will be harmful to the environment. Composting and using manure as organic fertilizer have an adverse effect on the environment, as manure emits CO2, CH4, and N2O, which are harmful to the environment. Converting this animal waste into biochar through pyrolysis might be a better way to apply it to the soil. We reviewed papers to determine the potential of agricultural waste biochar, focusing on animal waste biochar, to combat soil quality degradation and mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Due to the scarcity of animal waste biochar information, some discussions are based on other agricultural waste types, mainly rice hull and corncob biochar. Applying biochar has been proven to be a suitable method for improving soil quality, forage productivity and reducing GHG emissions. More detailed research is needed to evaluate the potential of animal waste biochar in this regard.

“…Therefore, judicial application of organic and inorganic N is necessary to mitigate the N 2 O emission from grassland [3]. Cattle waste management, including slurry storage [7] and composting [8], is another source of GHG, and in addition to CH 4 and N 2 O emissions from cattle waste management, farm machinery used for composting FYM also emits CO 2 [9]. To maintain productive sward, supplemental fertilizers are used to make up for nutrient insufficiencies in manure (e.g., N and P in the case of cattle manure) [5], but their manufacture also emits GHG [10].…”

In Japan, it is important to recycle the nutrients in manure for forage production because most dairy cattle are fed inside, mainly with imported grain and home-grown roughage. To understand the overall effect of manure use on grassland on the net greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and GHG intensity of herbage production systems, the integrated evaluation of emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) is essential. The objective of this study was to compare the net GHG emissions (expressed in CO2-eq ha−1 y−1) and GHG intensity (expressed in CO2-eq Mg–1 dry matter yield) of herbage production based on manure slurry + synthetic fertilizer (slurry system) with that based on farmyard manure + synthetic fertilizer (FYM system). Calculations of net GHG emissions and GHG intensity took into account the net ecosystem carbon balance (NECB) in grassland, the CH4 and N2O emissions from grassland, and GHG emissions related to cattle waste management, synthetic fertilizer manufacture, and fuel consumption for grassland management based on literature data from previous studies. The net GHG emissions and GHG intensity were 36% (6.9 Mg CO2-eq ha−1 y−1) and 41% (0.89 Mg CO2-eq Mg−1), respectively, lower in the FYM system.
