Systems approach vis-à-vis carbon sequestration: issues and strategies

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Potential carbon sequestration in a cropping system depends on biophysical factors like soil type, water availability, agro-climate, land use and tillage practices.The benefit accrued depends on socio-economic factors and legal rights of land, which have been discussed.Potential barriers to adoption and relative importance of such hurdles have been discussed; the relative importance followed the order: knowledge > economic > biophysical > cultural = right to soil.A scale neutral nationwide policy framework for carbon sequestration and attaining land degradation neutrality has also been suggested.
