Hope Below Our Feet: Soil as a Climate Solution
Soils hold about three times more carbon than the atmosphere, and an increase in soil carbon content worldwide could close the “emissions gap” between carbon dioxide reductions pledged at the Paris Agreement of 2015 and those deemed necessary to limit warming to 2 o C or less by 2100. To meet this challenge, several international efforts to build soil carbon have been launched, with similar measures underway in the United States.
The Essential Element: Carbon is Key to Life and Hope
Since all that carbon in the ground below our feet originated in the atmosphere, the potential exists for soils to ‘soak up’ lots and lots of the excess CO2 contributing to global warming. In fact, degraded and carbon-depleted soils – which describe the majority of agricultural lands in America – could be ‘recarbonized’ to their original, pre-tilled levels which could have a huge impact on climate change.
The Solution to Climate Change Is Just below Our Feet
An innovative agriculture-tech startup is leading the effort to pull one trillion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and restore carbon to the soil through regenerative farming practices.
The Drought Solution That’s Under Our Feet
Soil has been overlooked because it’s underfoot. Soil scientists around the world are highlighting that better soil management can help reduce the water we use.
‘Regenerative Agriculture and the Soil Carbon Solution’: New Paper Outlines Vision for Climate Action
"Data from farming and grazing studies show the power of exemplary regenerative systems that, if achieved globally, would drawdown more than 100% of current annual CO2 emissions," the new research says.
