Carbon-Negative Farming : Pathways, Practices, and Policies for Sustainable Agricultural Futures

This book examines carbon-negative farming systems addressing science, methods, and policy mechanisms for net-negative greenhouse gas outcomes. It covers soil carbon sequestration, carbon accounting tools, economic viability, and innovative technologies for climate-positive agriculture.

This book examines carbon-negative farming systems addressing science, methods, and policy mechanisms for achieving net-negative greenhouse gas outcomes. It covers soil health and carbon sequestration including biochar application, enhanced rock weathering, and plant-soil interactions for carbon capture and storage, and also:Provides comprehensive coverage of carbon-negative farming systems addressing science, methods, and policy mechanisms that enable farms to achieve net-negative greenhouse gas outcomes through carbon sequestration and regenerative land useExamines soil health and carbon sequestration as the cornerstone of carbon-negative farming including biochar application, enhanced rock weathering, and plant-soil interactions for carbon capture and storage in agricultural ecosystemsDiscusses carbon accounting and measurement tools for monitoring greenhouse gas outcomes with emphasis on digital monitoring systems, carbon markets, and sustainable finance mechanisms for climate-positive agricultureAddresses economic viability and market mechanisms for carbon-negative agriculture including policy and governance frameworks, community and indigenous knowledge systems, and replicable pathways for scaling practices across agro-ecological regionsCovers innovative approaches and technologies including digital and AI-based tools for carbon farming, climate-resilient crop systems, and carbon-negative livestock systems for transforming agriculture from net emitter to net sink of carbonThis title has been co-published with Elite Publishing House.
