Humus enrichment of soils: The many ways of regenerative agriculture

Abstract

Agricultural practices can contribute to climate change mitigation by storing-"sequestering"-carbon in soil and plants, while at the same time increasing soil fertility and water storage capacity, improving yields and nutrient supply, creating drought-tolerant soils, regenerating degraded cropland and rangelands, and enhancing biodiversity-all with positive impact on the local economy. Together, these form a set of compelling solutions.
