“…Lin et al [47], employing the Life-cycle assessment method, expected that organic farms would have less GHG by avoiding synthetic fertilizers, but the results of the study proved otherwise. They cited the high availability of methanogenic substrate present in organic fertilizers as a potential reason for the high CH 4 emissions in the organic fields.…”

Rice Cultivation and Greenhouse Gas Emissions: A Review and Conceptual Framework with Reference to Ghana

2017

Abstract:Rice is an essential crop in Ghana. Several aspects of rice have been studied to increase its production; however, the environmental aspects, including impact on climate change, have not been studied well. There is therefore a gap in knowledge, and hence the need for continuous research. By accessing academic portals, such as Springer Open, InTech Open, Elsevier, and the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology's offline campus library, 61 academic publications including peer reviewed journals, books, working papers, reports, etc. were critically reviewed. It was found that there is a lack of data on how paddy rice production systems affect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly emissions estimation, geographical location, and crops. Regarding GHG emission estimation, the review identified the use of emission factors calibrated using temperate conditions which do not suit tropical conditions. On location, most research on rice GHG emissions have been carried out in Asia with little input from Africa. In regard to crops, there is paucity of in-situ emissions data from paddy fields in Ghana. Drawing on the review, a conceptual framework is developed using Ghana as reference point to guide the discussion on fertilizer application, water management rice cultivars, and soil for future development of adaptation strategies for rice emission reduction.

“…One of the significant challenges in organic rice is how to produce high yield and quality and to mitigate emission in all cultivation processes. ORF had less GHG emissions due to avoiding synthetic fertilizer and pesticide, but it had extra emissions from the organic fertilizer that offered the primary source of methanogen compound [39].…”

Rice (Oryza sativa) plays an essential role in Asian countries with 90% of world production, consumption, and stocks in this region, including Indonesia. The total of certified organic rice areas was increasing significantly from 1,142.3 ha (2012) to be 3,152.5 ha in 2016, with the average growth of 21 %, annually. The main objective of study is to explore the new status of organic rice farming and identify the constraints, challenges, and opportunities addressed to the local and globalized world market. Organic rice production is still in the initiation stage, concentrated in populated islands, and cultivated in small spot areas produced unevenly over regions. Indonesian organic rice has many opportunities, challenges, and constraints. Many assessments showed that organic rice is more profitable than conventional rice due to its premium price, prospectus market both from domestic and international demand, and government support. Organic rice farming (ORF) is closely related to factors endowment suitability. Organic rice farming mostly has a different utilized variety. It has a minimum of information about technological cultivation, fertilization, and soil management. Some constraints are lack of organic fertilizer, land suitability, farmers' knowledge adopting GAP, and consumers' awareness. The critical challenge is how to cultivate organic rice with higher productivity while mitigating and decreasing the emission.

“…Agricultural products are generally based on a mass reference of 1 kg of output of farm products [47][48][49]. For the purposes of the present analysis, the functional unit was set at 1 kg of paddy rice production, as measured in an unpackaged state at the farm exit gate.…”

Concerns about climate change have forced countries to strengthen regulations, standards, and certifications related to greenhouse gas emissions. Various policies targeting farm products, such as carbon labeling and the Environmentally-Friendly Agricultural Product Certification (EFAPC) for agricultural products, have been implemented in South Korea to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the agricultural sector. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the implications of the various certification systems for rice farming, including organic farming, non-pesticide farming, and low-pesticide farming. For this study, we constructed a life cycle inventory (LCI) of rice farming systems including conventional, low-pesticide, non-pesticide, and organic farming systems in South Korea. Finally, we compared international farming systems in South Korea, the U.S., and the EU. The rice farming systems with eco-labeling certifications have reduced the environmental impacts. The environmental impacts of rice farming by country were highest in the U.S. (100.0), followed by the EU (53.7), and Korea's conventional (48.6), low-pesticide (35.8), non-pesticide (28.9), and organic (16.7) farming practices. These results may be useful in proliferating and improving the methodology to evaluate eco-labeling and carbon labeling systems.
