Healthy soils store more carbon
The most practical and cost-effective way to remove excess carbon (CO2) from the atmosphere is through living plants and soils.
While organic systems require some level of physical disturbance to control weeds, they eliminate synthetic inputs and can significantly reduce tillage. Reduced tillage, crop diversification, cover cropping, organic amendments, and sound nutrient management can enhance carbon sequestration and build climate resiliency in organic agricultural systems.
