Carbon180 proposes federal policy roadmap for agricultural carbon removal
Carbon180 has released 'Restoring Carbon for Healthy Agricultural Lands', a federal policy roadmap for integrating carbon removal into US agriculture. The report, informed by input from over 200 land stewards, scientists, and technical service providers, advocates for biogenic carbon pathways to address agricultural carbon debt. It aims to rebuild USDA capacity and shape farm policy to prioritise soil health and carbon restoration. The initiative seeks to reverse soil degradation, which has caused an estimated $2.8 billion in annual economic losses in the Corn Belt alone due to reduced crop yields.
