Abstract: Climate change, caused by the raise in concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere, has emerged as the most well-known environmental issue all over the globe. It will have a considerable impact on agriculture including crops, livestock, boundary plantation and organic manure (FYM, vermi-compost and compost) etc. The GHG emissions were estimated from integrated farming system of AICRP – IFS, Sardarkrushinagar. GHG of different components of farming system was estimated by ICAR-IIFSR-IFS, GHG -Estimator tool for estimating GHG emissions in IFS model. Maximum GHG emission 3522.38 CO2-e in kg was recorded under livestock (Cattle and buffalo) and minimum GHG emission was noted under energy used for household (150.0 CO2-e in kg) as compared to other components of farming system whereas, carbon sink 31099.18 kg/year was maximum in agro-forestry components.
