Soil and Carbon: Nature’s Storage Solution

Yet more carbon is stored in soils than in the atmosphere and all plant life combined; they are one of the world's most powerful tools available when it comes to mitigating climate change. Healthy soils capture carbon through a process known as sequestration by storing it in organic matter such as roots and plant residue left behind.

However, when soil is disturbed by tilling or deforestation, that carbon is released back into the air, fueling global warming. Regenerative farming techniques like no-till agriculture and cover cropping help keep carbon in the ground where it belongs. By supporting farmers who use these methods, you’re contributing to a healthier climate—right from your grocery cart.
