Carbon farming (also known as carbon sequestration) is a system of agricultural management that helps the land store more carbon and reduce the amount of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) that it releases into the atmosphere.

Carbon farming promises a bold new agricultural business model — one that fights climate change, creates jobs, and saves farms that might otherwise be unprofitable.

The Carbon farming will increase income generation opportunity and ensure food security net for the population.

Carbon farming can incentivise farmers to introduce regenerative practices in their agricultural processes. Thus help them shift their focus from improving yields to functioning ecosystems and sequestering carbon that can be sold or traded in carbon markets.
