Replacing diesel pumps with solar pumps is a significant step towards reducing agrifood sector emissions, with a potential reduction of 11.5 million tonnes annually. • The World Bank’s recent report, “Recipe for a Livable Planet: Achieving Net Zero Emissions in the Agrifood System”, underscores the potential for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction in the agrifood sector, which currently contributes to about one-third of global emissions. • In India, replacing a quarter of 8.8 million diesel irrigation pumps with solar pumps could reduce agrifood emissions by 11.5 million tonnes per year. • Cost-saving measures alone could achieve 80% of the mitigation potential for agriculture in India. • The report identifies top ten agrifood system emitters, including China, Brazil, India, the United States, and Indonesia, responsible for 55% of global agrifood emissions. • High-income countries can support low- and middle-income countries in adopting low-emission farming methods and technologies. • Middle-income countries have the potential to curb up to three-quarters of global agrifood emissions through greener practices. • Annual investments of $260 billion are required to halve agrifood emissions by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. • Investing in cutting agrifood emissions can result in benefits exceeding $4 trillion, including improvements in human health, food security, job quality, and profits for farmers. • Solar irrigation pumps offer a sustainable alternative to fuel-based pumps, reducing dependency on fossil fuels and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. • Enteric fermentation, a digestive process in ruminant animals, produces methane gas, a potent greenhouse gas, making it a focus of research for reducing emissions from livestock.
