• Carbon enters the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned.
• Carbon is also released into the atmosphere through a process called tilling, where the soil is ripped up in order to plant seeds.Ìý

• Sequestration is the process in which CO2 is removed from the atmosphere and stored in the ground.
• It's stored in plant roots, plant residuesÌýand other organic solids.

• Healthy soil can absorb more water before becoming saturated, making it more resilient in drier years.
• Higher quality soil will reduce runoff from croplands.
• Healthy soil can produce more food for a growing population.

• : Using new tilling processes on farmlands such as no-tilling (leaving the soil undisturbed between seasons), in-row subsoiling (soil surface and residue are undisturbed except for strips up to one-third of the row width where deep-tillage technologies loosen this soil), strip-till (tilling in strips only where some plants are being planted), etc. will better protect the soil.
• : Cover cropping describes plants that are utilized to slow erosion and increase biodiversity in farms but are not sold for profit.ÌýÌýof the desired crop.
• : Crop rotation is when farmers plantÌýdifferent crops after each yield on the same plot of land in order to optimize nutrients in the soil. For example, a farmer may plant corn on a plot of land one year and beans on the same land the next year.
