Haryana: Down to 600, but how close can it get to zero — and how soon?
In Bhuthan Kalan, Haryana, farmers are developing a new stubble economy to reduce crop-residue burning. Straw collection businesses are emerging to transport paddy residue to various industries for biomass fuel. Agriculture officials note that a market is forming between farmers, aggregators, and industrial buyers, although it remains largely informal. The government is identifying vulnerable farmers to match them with available machinery during harvest peaks.
