Carbon sequestration, also known as carbon farming, is a process for reducing carbon dioxide in the air by trapping it in soil and plants. This could help ease the effects of greenhouse gas emissions, which are causing Earth’s temperature to rise. Storing carbon can be accomplished by: reducing the amount of crop lands that are plowed and changing over to no-till farming; planting more trees in the tropics and temperate regions; increasing the production of biofuels.
