Improved Agricultural Land Management

Improved agricultural land management refers to projects that enhance farming practices and land use to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon sequestration in agricultural soils. This approach aims to mitigate climate change by improving the carbon balance in agricultural ecosystems. Practices may include reduced tillage, cover cropping, agroforestry, rotational grazing, and organic farming, among others. These methods promote soil health, increase organic matter in soils, and reduce the release of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, making it an effective strategy for offsetting carbon emissions from other sources, such as industry or transportation.
