Globally, agricultural systems have come under pressure to reduce their carbon footprint and the UK government has set a target of ‘carbon neutral’ farming by 2050. for Global Warming Potential (commonly known as carbon footprint); 21.2% for Terrestrial Acidification Potential; 22.5% for Agricultural Land Use.

The word Anthropocene was coined by biologist Eugene Stormer and chemist Paul Crutzen in 2000 and has since gained popularity and acclaim. .

” Researchers say the 19-year drought the region has experienced since 2000 is as bad as any in the past 1,200 years. The researchers used tree ring data to estimate annual soil moisture for pre-modern data. But studying the current drought, scientists put almost half the blame, or 47%, on global warming.

These come from deforestation, changes in soil carbon, methane emissions, emissions from fertilisers, manure, farm machinery, and animal feed production. A systematic review based on multiple studies concluded that emissions “differ considerably per diet, with a vegan diet having the lowest CO2eq production per 2000 kcal consumed.”

Depending on how you look at it, California — and most of the American West — has either entered its third catastrophic drought of the past 10 years, or has been in a constant, unyielding “megadrought” since 2000. The atmosphere is like a sponge: It sucks up water from soils, plants, rivers, oceans, and lakes.

Soil scientists strongly disagree about whether soil carbon sequestration (SCS) can effectively help to decarbonize the atmosphere. Our recently published article in Nature Sustainability outlines our concerns that this conflicting messaging undermines efforts to restore soils to safeguard human and environmental well-being.
