Just wanted to start a discussion about carbon capture/ land management practices, as I am looking hard at my own place and thinking about what I should do for best management going forward.
This was the subject of IPCC report released this week:

More to the point, the general methods, potential and goals of carbon sequester through land management are laid out in this voluntary international initiative called 4 per mille.

Discussion about policy and progress in Canada toward these goals is found here:

I am still mulling that over and will reread to think it through. One thing I see though is that progress is needed in my own region - Central and Atlantic are the areas which need a turnaround.
Meanwhile I invite anyone to talk about or share pics of the things you are doing that capture carbon in your garden or farm. Cover crops, intercrops, tree crops, no till, composting, etc.. I would like to hear about different things that work in different regions, because best practice in this as in everything has to be tailored to the region to some extent.
TIA for helping me to learn more about this.
And thanks to the members here who are doing inspiring things and telling about it - ColeRobbie and Pure Harvest and Red Baron among others.
