Carbon farming, when the soil slows global warming

Tridge summary

The article highlights the impact of climate change on agriculture and emphasizes the role farmers can play in combating global warming through carbon farming. This farming system enables the soil to absorb and store carbon dioxide, reducing its concentration in the atmosphere. The process involves plants absorbing CO2 during growth, and when they die, the carbon is trapped in the soil if it is not worked. The use of cover crops and minimal tillage techniques can increase carbon sequestration, with one season potentially capturing 2-2.5 tons per hectare. The article stresses the importance of conservative agriculture practices to prevent the release of trapped carbon.

Original content

The effects of climate change are evident in agriculture, but farmers themselves can play an important role in slowing global warming. The key lies in carbon farming: this is what it is and how it works The column dedicated to improving knowledge of safe and sustainable use of crop protection products, the objective of the Bayer AgriCampus initiative, continues on AgroNotizie. From the pre-industrial period to today, the average temperature of the Earth has increased by more than 1 ° C due to the release into the atmosphere of climate-altering gases (such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and others) which make the our planet more efficient in retaining the sun's rays. Although one degree may seem small, for the climate it is enormous (and it is also for our body, just think about when we measure our fever) .Global warming has led to climate change, which has different effects in different regions. of the Globe. In the Mediterranean area in recent years we have had an ...
