Sugarcane Carbon Sequestration Potential under CDM (Paperback)

Agricultural soils represent a potentially significant low cost sink for carbon dioxide with multiple potential co-benefits to farm productivity and profitability.Since agricultural soils can store more carbon, a modest increase in carbon stocks across the large land areas used for agriculture would represent a significant GHG mitigation. Sugarcane accompanied with good farming practices has the potential to sequester considerable amounts of carbon and so contribute to climate change mitigation.
