Burnt Farms & Water Sprinklers in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh (Date 12/12/2022)

Burning of stubble in India is a common agricultural practice which often results in air pollution, particularly in the northern region of the country. While the ash from the burned crops can improve soil fertility, the air pollution caused by this practice can have adverse effects on the health of people living in the region. In this video the burnt farms and the impact of stubble burning on the environment can be seen. However, it is also positive to see the use of agricultural water sprinklers to prepare the soil for the next harvest. Such irrigation systems are important for maintaining soil moisture and promoting crop growth, while also minimizing the need for burning crop residues. It is important to note that there are alternative techniques to manage crop residues, such as mulching or using them as animal feed. These practices can help reduce the negative impact of stubble burning on air quality and promote sustainable agriculture in the long run.
