Air pollution could be reduced by incentivizing local government officials to control crop burning

Nature, Published online: 13 August 2025; doi:10.1038/d41586-025-02545-3Crop-residue burning in South Asia decreases by up to 14.5% when smoke from fires would affect bureaucrats home districts instead of neighbouring ones. Bureaucratic action to punish farmers deters future fires by a further 13%. Thus, using administrator incentives to control crop burning could guide policy towards improving air quality and reducing infant and child mortality.
