Abstract Stubble Burning is a common agricultural practice that presents serious health, environmental, and social problems, especially in relation to soil erosion and air pollution in Punjab and Haryana. This study examines the scope of stubble burning, its effects on soil fertility, air quality, and human health, as well as alternative management techniques like mushroom farming and conservation tillage and zero tillage. It also highlights the opportunities and difficulties in stubble-burning research and policymaking. Fire events arising in Punjab have become a frequent environmental and public health hazard, particularly during the post-harvest season. The province's highest fire event record for 2024 was recorded in Amritsar and Tarn Taran, according to a comparison of fire incidences in Punjab's several districts. In 2023, Moga and Gurdaspur became the leaders during the Rabi season. In certain areas, this high quantity could be the reason for many diseases and deaths. For most individuals, burning stubble is the easiest and least expensive alternative. While keeping the nutrients in the agricultural residue in the soil, composting and the manufacture of biochar are two efficient sustainable methods that can help to reduce the problem. In an effort to address this issue, the Indian government has launched a number of initiatives and policies that support sustainable management practices including turning agricultural waste into electricity.
