  1. As the governments of the world move toward not only reducing our net emission closer to a level that can be naturally sequestered, it is also clear that in the period of time it takes to transition to a cleaner energy future deliberate sequestration of carbon will be needed to offset and further mitigate carbon emissions.

  2. Soil C sequestration is a strategy to achieve food securitythrough improvement in soil quality. It is a by-product of theinevitable necessity of adopting RMPs for enhancing crop yieldson a global scale. While reducing the rate of enrichment ofatmospheric concentration of CO2, soil C sequestration improvesand sustains biomass/agronomic productivity. It has the potentialto offset fossil-fuel emissions by 0.4 to 1.2 Gt C/year, or5 to 15% of the global emissions. Rattan Lal, Science (2004)
