Soil can mitigate climate change through carbon sequestration by storing carbon in organic matter, with sustainable practices like conservation tillage and agroforestry enhancing this capacity. However, poor land management can release stored carbon, worsening climate change. While important, soil management is not a standalone solution; other cost-effective strategies such as restoring degraded lands, using biochar, and adopting climate-smart agricultural practices also contribute to carbon sequestration and improve soil health and resilience.
