Restoring and Capturing Carbon
Everyone is hearing about soil carbon storage, but farmers have, for years, known about the theoretical ability to offset carbon emissions by managing their land in a way that captures carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stores it in the soil a set of practices often referred to as regenerative agriculture.
Farming is notoriously risky, the potential stream of income generated from producing carbon offsets has the potential to be a hedge in a business where a changing climate is disrupting traditional agricultural patterns.
New advances in aerial carbon mapping technologies could help to measure carbon in soils. So far, the expense and time associated with measuring soil carbon content has been a hurdle for farmers hoping to generate carbon offsets on their land. As technologies improve,this will accelerate the ongoing effort to make the agricultural industry carbon negative.
Companies actively developing scanning technologies are utilizing drones, planes, and satellites equipped with precision imaging cameras. These images, when cross- referenced with soil-core samples have the potential to produce accurate models of soil carbon.
It’s possible to rehabilitate damaged ecosystems.
Regenerating degraded land can be planted with tiny forests, a movement that is transforming highway shoulders, parking lots, schoolyards and junkyards worldwide. Thes pocket forests have been planted across Europe, in Africa, throughout Asia and in South America, and the Middle East. India has hundreds, and Japan, where it all began, has thousands.
Healthy woodlands absorb carbon dioxide, clean the air and provide wildlife habitat. But these tiny forests promise even more.
They can grow as quickly as ten times the speed of conventional tree plantations, enabling them to sequester more carbon, support and enrich habitat while requiring no weeding or watering after the first three years,.
