Episode Synopsis

About a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions come from the important task of feeding the world. But farms have a unique opportunity to reduce emissions by pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere through soil and trees. There’s even a way to measure the carbon in the soil so that farmers are compensated for it. 
In this video, host Crystal Mackay answers some common questions about farming carbon, discusses carbon in agriculture, and goes through the steps farmers can take to pull carbon into their soil and get compensated for it.
