Farmers in northern India burn fields, illegally, causing severe air pollution and health risks.
Indian farmers, mostly small-scale, burn their fields to clear crop residue for new planting, an illegal practice contributing to severe air pollution in northern India, including New Delhi.
This burning releases cancer-causing particles, reduces soil fertility, and costs the economy around $95 billion annually.
While the government offers subsidies for modern machinery to reduce burning, many farmers cannot afford these alternatives, making the practice a necessity for survival.
This contributes to hazardous air quality, linked to over 1.67 million premature deaths in 2019.
