Ozone Day and Carbon Neutral Farming

Ozone Day


Ozone is the protective shield of our earth. More literally, ozone is a layer of the atmosphere that blocks out dangerous ultraviolet rays from the sun. Today is a day when at least a few people remember this layer of atmosphere that is about 20 to 35 kilometers above the earth. This day is celebrated as Ozone Day all over the world because of the birth of the Montreal Agreement signed by the nations of the world on September 16, 1987. The Montreal Agreement aims to reduce the use of chemicals or toxic gases that deplete the ozone layer. The ozone layer was discovered in 1913 by two physicists named Charles Fabry and Henry Bouchon. But it was only in the mid-1980s that the world realized that this umbrella had cracked. Joy Foreman, Jonathan Franklin, Scientists such as Brian Gardener gave the first indication of the depletion of the ozone layer seen over the Antarctic. Discussions were held all over the world that this crack would lead to diseases including skin cancer and the complete destruction of our food chain. Ending the heated debate over whether excessive emissions of greenhouse gases will obliterate human life, the world's nations have stepped up efforts to eliminate the conditions that produce these gases. By 2050, everyone is on course to completely reverse ozone depletion.

Don't know about the importance of Ozone Day in agriculture? Nitrous oxide, nitric oxide, bromine, chlorine, methane, chlorine, fluorine, bromine, fluorocarbon, etc. are many gases that cause holes in the ozone layer. The release of these gases into the atmosphere leads to climate change and ecosystem destruction. Agriculture is also important in emitting toxic gases. Carbon neutral agriculture is the first step to prevent this. According to a report issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), it is estimated that the food and agriculture sector emits about 30 percent of greenhouse gases. To prevent this, countries including India are giving so much importance to the concept of carbon neutral or net zero.
