Sugarcane and its impact of Indian Climate Change
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCED RESEARCH IN CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
India is the world’s second largest producer of sugar after Brazil with an average annual production of 25.1 million tones, with about 5.1 million ha area under cane cultivation and its processing for value added products such as sugar, jaggery, bio-ethanol, paper, bio-fertilizer, power cogeneration etc. has drawn awareness because of its socio-economic impact and environmental concerns. Droughts have рlаguеd the еаrth for сеnturіеѕ. Сlіmаtе сhаngе wіllѕіgnіfісаntlуаffесt the ѕuѕtаіnаbіlіtу of wаtеrѕuррlіеѕ in the сomіngdесаdеѕ.

The earliest mention of sugarcane cultivation is found in Indian writings of theperiod 1400 to 1000 B.C. It is now widely accepted that India is the original home of Saccharum species. Saccharumbarberi and Polynesian group of island especially New Guinea is the centre of origin of S. officinarum. The Study shows how sugarcane impact the Indian climate change.
