ABSTRACT / SAŽETAK:
Carbon farming is an agricultural practice that stores carbon in soil to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve soil health. It benefits farmers by increasing soil fertility, reducing the need for chemical inputs, and improving water retention, all of which lower costs and increase crop yields. Additionally, farmers can earn income by selling carbon credits in voluntary markets, adding a new revenue stream. This approach also supports biodiversity and job creation in rural areas. Although initial investments and monitoring are required, carbon farming offers long-term economic and environmental advantages, promoting sustainable agriculture, and contributing to climate change mitigation efforts.
