Carbon Sequestration
- 2015 has been declared the International Year of Soils, with the objective to achieve full recognition of the prominent contributions of soils to food security and climate change adaptation
- Carbon sequestration in soils can help regenerate soils, increase crop yields, reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, limit fresh water usage, reduce use of agricultural chemicals, and reduce pollution
- About 40 percent of agricultural soils around the globe is currently classified as degraded or seriously degraded; the world only has about 60 years’ worth of topsoil left
