Four principles set the foundation for sequestering carbon in rangelands and pasture, but what are the options for carbon markets?
Implementing cover crops and moving to no-till can make the greatest impact at the lowest cost, although the amount of carbon sequestered or emissions reduced and cost of each practice varies by region.
Management practices either improve or set back soil carbon sequestration, beginning with the soil and moving through crop production.
All aspects of crop production that involve keeping the soil covered, minimizing disturbance, and agronomic management can help sequester carbon and reduce emissions.
