"Soil Carbon Management"

Soil Carbon Management refers to practices aimed at increasing and sustaining the amount of carbon stored in the soil. This is important because healthy soils can capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to mitigate climate change. Techniques include improving land use, such as using cover crops, reduced tillage, and organic farming, which enhance soil health and promote carbon storage. By managing soil effectively, we can not only improve agricultural productivity but also contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing greenhouse gases and improving ecosystem resilience.
