In Chiang Mai, Thailand, researchers are using trace-gas analysis to measure soil greenhouse gas emissions in coffee plantations. Agriculture contributes significantly to Thailand's carbon emissions, making it crucial to explore sustainable practices. The focus is on comparing the effects of organic versus chemical farming on soil health and carbon balance. Regular measurements over two years will help determine the best methods for carbon accumulation and soil structure improvement, which are vital for resilience against climate change and for boosting agricultural productivity.
Agriculture is a big emitter of greenhouse gases - it accounts for around 15% of Thailand's carbon emissions - but the sector's emissions tell only half the story.
By measuring greenhouse gas emissions and carbon accumulation, we aim to identify sustainable farming methods that will allow the region to thrive amidst climate change.
