THE CARBON FARMING SOLUTION

A GLOBAL TOOLKIT OF PERENNIAL CROPS AND REGENERATIVE AGRICUL

di AA.VV.
Editore: CHELSEA GREEN PUBLISHING  (2016)

Descrizione

Carbon farming can take many forms. The simplest practices involve modifications to annual crop production. Although many of these modifications have relatively low sequestration potential, they are widely applicable and easily adopted, and thus have excellent potential to mitigate climate change if practiced on a global scale. Likewise, grazing systems such as silvopasture are easily replicable, don't require significant changes to human diet, and-given the amount of agricultural land worldwide that is devoted to pasture-can be important strategies in the carbon farming arsenal. But by far, agroforestry practices and perennial crops present the best opportunities for sequestration. While many of these systems are challenging to establish and manage, and would require us to change our diets to new and largely unfamiliar perennial crops, they also offer huge potential that has been almost entirely ignored by climate crusaders.
