The study found, once the bulk of emissions have been reduced, countries plan to ‘cancel out’ the left-over difficult to decarbonise emissions, such as those from agriculture, by using forests and soils to remove carbon from the atmosphere. These mean forests and soils could lose their stored carbon back to the atmosphere.

Soil acts as a carbon ‘sink’, locking in GHGs that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. Upgrading UK soils, particularly farmland and degraded peatlands, could radically improve their ability to store carbon. The potential of soil to sequester carbon is huge and should be fully maximised.”.

Green areas from which cut grass has been removed become increasingly nutrient-poor, which in the longer term leads to an uplift in biodiversity among plants and insects. Dead grass that’s simply left to rot can also build up the bank of soil over the years. The 4×4 vehicle pulls a Harsh drawbar trailer with grass collection box.

Many studies into the value of AD only look at the value of the energy or biomethane produced by the plant. For example, the application of digestate to agricultural soils can improve water retention and water cycling, boost soil organic carbon and biodiversity, and reduce soil erosion.

Here’s why Clean Energy Trust is excited about our investment in Continuum Ag , an Iowa-based startup run by farmers, for farmers, to drive the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices that improve sustainability, increase profits, and sequester carbon in the soil. Plowing or tilling soil has been done for thousands of years.

Would that the same could be said of global biodiversity - or the living natural world to give it its more evocative name and rid it of the emotional distancing that accompanies the dry scientific terminology. Efforts to tackle biodiversity loss enjoy no such luck. The yields are seen to be higher if the field is soaked in pesticide.

Once complete, the installation will generate enough renewable energy annually to power the equivalent of 34,000 homes. Peacock will also be home to a range of agricultural and biodiversity activities, including: Planting vegetation under and around the solar panels, including native plant species beneficial to pollinators and other wildlife.
