Did you know that 2,500 gigatons of carbon are stored in the world’s soils? 🌱 That's more than three times the amount of carbon in the atmosphere and four times the amount stored in all living plants and animals. Soil is a massive carbon sink that can play a critical role in combating climate change. But the big question is, can farmers make money with soil carbon? Matt Mugan, our SVP Carbon Credits, spoke with Netting Zeros about how BX is turning soil carbon into a profitable opportunity for farmers. Through carbon credits and regenerative agriculture, we’re creating new revenue opportunities for farmers while enhancing their environmental performance 🌎 🔗 Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/eFNawe3c #CarbonFarming #SoilHealth #RegenerativeAgriculture #CarbonCredits #SustainableFarming

The land sector contributes 20% of national greenhouse emissions and we need to decarbonise it as urgently as we need to decarbonise other parts of the economy. Climate Friendly’s Co-CEO, Skye Glenday, explains how land-based carbon credits generated through carbon farming is meeting the land sector’s increasing demand for “insetting” emissions to meet its Net Zero goal. #decarbonisation #carboncredits

🌱 Unlocking the potential of soil: carbon sequestration As the world seeks effective solutions to climate change, the role of soil in carbon sequestration is increasingly recognized for its significance and potential. Soil carbon sequestration is a process where CO2 is removed from the atmosphere and stored in the soil carbon pool, primarily through effective land management. Key practices in enhancing soil carbon sequestration include cover cropping, reduced tillage, and the incorporation of organic matter. These methods not only enrich the soil's organic carbon content but also contribute to improved soil health and agricultural productivity. The importance of soil as a carbon sink cannot be ignored. It is the second-largest carbon sink, with the potential to significantly mitigate the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. By implementing sustainable soil management practices, this natural solution can be leveraged to address environmental challenges. In this context, the role of farmers and land managers becomes pivotal. Adopting soil health practices is beneficial for crop yields but is also a critical component of our global response to climate change. #climatechange #sustainability #agriculture #carbonsequestration #soilhealth #environmentalsustainability #carboncredits

Rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and extreme weather events in today's world negatively affect agricultural productivity, leading to reduced crop yields and food insecurity. Maximizing carbon sequestration in agriculture is critical to mitigating the effects of climate change, maintaining soil health, ensuring food security, and preserving ecosystem services. Failure to prioritize carbon sequestration can lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions, worsening climate change impacts, soil degradation, ecosystem damage, and missed economic opportunities. Our mission is to increase food production by mitigating climate change through regenerative farming methods while ensuring sustainability and profitability. Let's work together to create a sustainable future.

Recent studies about greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural peatlands underscore a startling fact: even though these lands make up just 1% of agricultural areas, they contribute to a third of global cropland emissions. This revelation brings to light the crucial role of advanced air quality monitoring in agriculture. At Inteccon, we recognize the importance of sustaining our agricultural heritage while mitigating environmental impacts. Our state-of-the-art air quality monitoring systems provide critical data, allowing for real-time insights into greenhouse gas emissions. These tools are essential in identifying 'hot moments' and 'hot spots' of emissions, as seen in the variable patterns of gases like N₂O, CO₂, and CH₄. 🌱 By integrating Inteccon’s advanced monitoring technology, farmers and environmental scientists can make better decisions, leading to more sustainable agricultural practices. We're committed to offering solutions that not only safeguard our environment but also ensure the longevity and health of our agricultural lands. 🌍 Join us in embracing technology for a greener, healthier planet. #Inteccon #AirQualityMonitoring #SustainableAgriculture #EnvironmentalScience #GreenTech

Regenerative agriculture is more than a practice; it's a way of life that safeguards our future. We don't own this land; we merely borrow it from our children and must nurture it as best we can. With challenges like soil degradation and climate change, there’s no better time to explore sustainable choices that honor our land and the web of life. Drop a 💚 if this resonates with you. #regenerativeagriculture #healthysoilhealthyplanet #soilhealthmatters #climatecrisis #soilhealth

The importance of biochar is highlighted in areas with degraded soil or extreme climate conditions and requires soil amendment to increase crop yield. 1️⃣ Biochar can balance alkaline or acidic soils and restore plant growth. 2️⃣ Its porous structure enhances soil’s physical and chemical properties to aid plant growth. 3️⃣ Biochar also provides a suitable environment for plants to take up essential nutrients easily. 4️⃣ Finally, it contributes to climate change mitigation by reducing soil’s greenhouse gas emissions and facilitating carbon storage in a stable form. 🤝 Join us at #brahmearth as we delve into the world of biochar, exploring its potential to preserve soil and pave the way for a more sustainable future. #agriculture #soilquality #biochar #climatechange #greeninnovation #sustainability
