How Can We Store More Carbon in Soil?

There's a lot of hope and potential for that the soil can actually continue to take up more carbon. The last 12 thousand years, since we've been in agriculture, we've released about a hundred and 20 billion metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere. At the maxi level of this storage potential, soils can take up somewhere close to three billion metric of carbon from the atmosphere. This is a theoretical potential that depends on large scale changes in how we manage soil. We definitely reduce deforestation and put back trees whenever possible.
