This study was conducted at Hisar and Karnal district of Haryana, India, to create awareness towards sequestration of greenhouse gases for sustainable agriculture. The 125 farmers were selected and interviewed with the help of well-structured schedule. The majority of the farmers were of middle age group (36-50 years), educated up to matric, belonged to a joint family (5-6 members), performed only farming and had average land holding up to 5 acres. The result shown that farmers' awareness towards greenhouse gases, climate change and global warming were found fully aware as per farmers' responses. Major causes of greenhouse gases were high use of inorganic farm inputs (2.88), intensive tillage practices (2.75) and etc. Very serious losses due to greenhouse gases were crop benefit ratio decreased, crop damaged due to adverse climatic uncertainty. Results pertaining adoption of alternative measures for sequestration of greenhouse gases for sustainable agriculture was medium. Farm practices like the evolution of new crop cultivars, crop diversification, zero tillage and integrated farming practices were found very effective among the farmers to reduce the greenhouse gases emission.
