Studies show that carbon uptake (negative emissions) is lowest in open pastures, intermediate in silvopastures, and highest in reference forests. This pattern is consistent across systems like tree alley-cropping and orchard-hay systems. Open pastures have higher CO₂ fluxes due to factors like soil respiration and warmer temperatures.
About 3,000 Missouri farmers will get direct financial assistance to expand regenerative agriculture practices. The changes are expected to be able to offset emissions from at least 200,000 vehicles.
