The cultivated land utilization index (CLUI) for all the districts of Odisha, India during 2013–14 was estimated in this study. The average state CLUI value (0.585) indicated the scope of improving resource utilization, though 67% of the net cropped area is sown twice. All the districts of the state were classified under four scenarios with various combinations of cropping intensity and CLUI. Growing long-duration crop varieties under conditions of ample water availability and, more short-duration less water-requiring crops under limited water supply will improve resource utilization. The results pave the way for analysis of CLUI at a national level for efficient resource utilization by formulating cropping patterns based on water availability.Keywords

Global awareness of climate change issues, particularly changes in air temperature, has increased dramatically over the last half a century. Concerns regarding ecosystem sustainability and human existence on Earth arise due to population expansion, rising surface temperatures and increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Agriculture accounts for approximately 18% of the total GHG emissions, largely in the form of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. As a result, limiting GHG emissions is critical to alleviating the consequences of climate change, which is attainable if the concept of carbon footprint is understood. Cereal production produces more GHG emissions than other farming methods, including vegetables and fruits. ‘Carbon footprint’ is a popular term in agriculture and environmental research due to its involvement in environmental impact assessments and global climate change. GHG emissions are influenced by changes in land use, soil type and agricultural management approaches. Therefore, it is important to consider how agricultural management practices, particularly those involving the soil and related systems, affect the relationships between photosynthesis and GHG emissions. This study deals with the concept of carbon footprint in agriculture and various mitigation measures for its management.Keywords
