Dear friend Brian Indumli

Carbon farming is a name for a variety of agricultural methods aimed at sequestering atmospheric carbon into the soil and in crop roots, wood and leaves. The aim of carbon farming is to increase the rate at which carbon is sequestered into soil and plant material with the goal of creating a net loss of carbon from the atmosphere (Carbon farming - Wikipedia.....). Many of these practices are common in organic farming, regenerative agriculture, permaculture, and other approaches to food production (What is Carbon Farming? | Green America.......).

Kaushik has given a good response but be aware that many of the claims made about increasing soil organic matter are false

Paul Milham

Please enlighten us of the areas of claims of benefits of organic matter which are false. Please.

Sorry if I created a misunderstanding. The false claims relate to rates of increase in SOM under various management systems. A reliable source of information in a favourable environment is the Classic Experiment at Rothamsted

There is no doubt that increase in soil organic matter takes persistent and long temer effort and takes long term experimens to be shown.

Brian Indumli "Carbon farming" refers to agricultural management practices designed to contribute to climate mitigation. This entails the comprehensive management of carbon across various aspects, including land, livestock, soil, materials, and vegetation, along with the control of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. It includes three key components:

1. Carbon Removal: This involves sequestering and permanently storing carbon in soils and biomass.

2. Avoided Emissions:*These practices prevent the loss of already stored carbon, ensuring its retention within the agricultural system.

3. Emissions Reductions: This signifies reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions below the current levels of emissions from farming activities.
