Stubble burning is the practice of intentionally setting fire to the straw stubble that remains after grains, such as rice and wheat, have been harvested. The technique is still widespread today. Stubble burning is a common practice in India that has been increasing greenhouse gases over the past few decades fueling climate change due to the particulate matter contamination it distributes into the atmosphere.[citation needed]
