Crop burning is a major contributor to air pollution, particularly in agricultural regions. To avoid a spike in air pollution, it is crucial to halt crop burning and promote alternative methods of crop residue management, such as composting or using it for bioenergy production. This would not only improve air quality but also contribute to sustainable agriculture practices and mitigate climate change.
