Farming practices have the potential to slow climate change by pulling carbon from the air and store it in the soil. A new study from LUCSUS has identified seven ways in which farmers can increase carbon sequestration. It also found that woody perennials took up more than annual crops, suggesting that winegrowing could be particularly favorable for carbon soil storage. – What can farmers do to hel
