Soil Carbon: The Cornerstone of Sustainable Agriculture and Climate Resilience

Niwedita P

Soil carbon is a critical component of the Earth’s terrestrial carbon cycle, playing a vital role in both agriculture and climate resilience. This short communication aims to highlight the significance of soil carbon in sustaining agricultural productivity, mitigating climate change, and promoting global food security. Understanding the dynamics of soil carbon and implementing effective management practices is crucial for building a resilient and sustainable future. This paper provides an overview of the importance of soil carbon, its sources and sinks, the impact of land-use changes, and the potential for soil carbon sequestration in agricultural systems. By recognizing the fundamental role of soil carbon, we can foster environmentally friendly agricultural practices and contribute to global efforts in climate change mitigation.
