Proposed Project to Soak Up Excess Carbon Into Soil
France is leading a worldwide push to increase the amount of carbon locked in soils through better farming practices.
Supporters of an initiative launched at the COP 21 summit say this would limit global warming by removing carbon from the atmosphere, while also increasing the range and amount of food farmers produce by improving soil fertility. This would particularly benefit developing countries, according to representatives of the 4 Pour 1000 initiative.
