One thing we’re not short on in agriculture today is the opportunity to engage in carbon sequestration programs. Many programs are available that offer to pay farmers and landowners for adopting practices that sequester carbon dioxide to keep the pollutant out of the atmosphere. The practice aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as carbon dioxide is a significant contributor to GHG. Farming practices that sequester carbon include using cover crops, adopting no-till, and planting trees.
If you’re considering a carbon sequestration or carbon credit program, what do you need to know about carbon sequestration? An upcoming program offered by OSU Extension’s Energy Outreach Program will offer insight into carbon sequestration.
