NASEO Rural Operating Team: Agriculture and Carbon Sequestration: Demanding situations and Alternatives

Farmers and ranchers have an opportunity to reduce sector-wide and nationwide greenhouse gas emissions through new land management practices that help maximize the sequestration of carbon in soil. States, the federal government, and the private sector are advancing soil carbon sequestration through incentives, technical assistance, and data collection, which presents an economic development opportunity for rural areas and agricultural stakeholders. This webinar provided states with an opportunity to hear about the process for carbon sequestration in soil along with some of the co-benefits and challenges.
