LILAS4SOILS dedicates to 5 key practices and strategies within Carbon Farming, each contributing to the goal of increasing carbon sequestration and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture and land use.
Know more
- Keeping existing peatlands wet to avoid emissions (either for nature conservation or through paludiculture)
- Rewetting and restoring previously drained peatlands (to avoid emissions from degrading peatlands)
- Adapting the management of drained peatlands in productive use that cannot be rewetted.
- Increasing silvoarable and silvopastoral systems
- Hedgerow or field boundary tree cover
- Improving nutrient planning
- Improving timing and application
- Use of nitrification inhibitors
- Directly reducing enteric methane (including feed additives and improved feed digestibility/efficiency)
- Reducing NO emissions through manure management (including manure storage and processing, anaerobic digestion and bio methane, and cover cropping)
- Efficiency improvements including animal management to improve productivity (through herd management and feed management)
- Animal fertility improvementsGrazing and grassland management
- Cover cropping
- Improved crop rotations
- Maintaining grassland without ploughing up (no till)
- Conversion from arable land to grassland
- Organic farmingManagement of grazing land and grassland
