Carbon sequestration is the process of storing carbon dioxide or other forms of carbon. This slow down the accumulation of greenhouse gases, which are released by burning the fossil fuels.
Let's look into the Terrestrial Sequestration. During the process of photosynthesis, CO2 is absorbed from air and in the end it is sequestered in the soil. When farmers plough the land, stored CO2 is released in to air. Hence, tilling should be minimised and as a result, CO2 can be stored in the soil.
In order to cope up this issue, there is an approach called Climate Smart Agriculture. Aim of this approach is to reduce the soil disturbance, implementing crop rotation and enhancing permanent soil cover. This can build resilience to climate change. Also, the agricultural productivity can be increased which in turn increases farmers' income. Let's plant trees and preserve nature!💚
