CONCLUSIONS
• Organic farming has vast sequestration to off
• Important exercise for all farms and compani
• An immense opportunity for us all……
• More research is needed

The 3 Key
GreenCarbon Claims:
More than 1/3 of the increase in atmospheric
CO2 comes from Land Use Changes and Forestry
If we increased the carbon stock in the terrestrial
biosphere by a mere 12 % we would be back
at pre-industrial CO2-levels in the atmosphere
Terrestrial ecosystems
er DNA-coded towards Carbon sequestration
