Earth. It’s the soil under our feet. It’s also the most powerful solution we have for reversing climate change. Soil can heal our planet by removing over a hundred-thousand-million (100 billion) tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by the end of the century. A 100-acre farm can absorb 150,000 pounds of CO2.
The problem is that the incentive is not there. In order for soil carbon sequestration to take hold, there needs to be proper incentive for growers and project developers to make it happen profitably, easily, and with low risk.
