Canada’s 71 million hectares of managed agricultural and urban soils can be a strong ally as we tackle climate change, simply by absorbing and holding carbon.

A collaboration between the Soil Conservation Council of Canada and the Compost Council of Canada, this new report details how sequestering carbon in Canada’s soils offers the potential to completely offset agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions footprint, while also delivering valuable co–benefits, such as improved crop productivity and profitability.
