| Teaser: | Climate impact of organic soil management. |
| What problem does the tool address?: | Agriculture plays a major role in climate change. As one of the main producers of greenhouse gases, agriculture contributes to global warming but also has great potential for mitigating climate change. At the same time, agricultural production and the environment are burdened by climate change's adverse consequences. |
| What solution does the tool offer?: | Organic farming is one way of adapting agriculture to climate change. Organically farmed soils emit less climate-damaging nitrous oxide than their conventional counterparts. A more active and diverse microbial community present in organic soils can also improve the capacity of crops to adapt to climate-related stress situations. Reduced tillage is a soil organic matter management technique that can help organic farms maintain and increase the amount of organic carbon stored in the top soil. |
