  2. Carbon farming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_farming

    The overall aim of carbon farming is to store carbon in the soil, crop roots, wood and leaves.It is one of several methods for carbon sequestration.It can be achieved by modification of agricultural practices because soil can act as an effective carbon sink and thus offset carbon dioxide emissions.

  3. Climate-friendly gardening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate-friendly_gardening

    Food is a major contributor to climate change. In the United Kingdom, according to Tara Garnett of the Food Climate Research Network, food contributes 19% of the country's greenhouse gas emissions. [47] Soil is the biggest store of carbon on land. It is therefore important to protect the soil organic matter in farmland.

    There are many strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture (this is one of the goals of climate-smart agriculture). Mitigation measures in the food system can be divided into four categories. These are demand-side changes, ecosystem protections, mitigation on farms, and mitigation in supply chains.

  7. Soil carbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_carbon

    Soil carbon is the solid carbon stored in global soils. This includes both soil organic matter and inorganic carbon as carbonate minerals. It is vital to the soil capacity in our ecosystem. Soil carbon is a carbon sink in regard to the global carbon cycle, playing a role in biogeochemistry, climate change mitigation, and constructing global ...
