Gives science a bad name. Somebody dig me up in 60 years and tell me what happened.
Imagine if we had a process to remove billions of tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere safely, quickly and cost-effectively – while at the same time building soil, reversing desertification, boosting biodiversity, enhancing global food security and improving the lives of hundreds of millions of people in rural and regional areas around our planet?
We do – it’s called changed grazing management and soil carbon.
