Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Gases released into the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, that trap heat and contribute to global warming.

Net Zero Emissions

Achieving a balance where the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere is equal to the amount removed, resulting in no net addition of gases.

Soil Health Systems

Farming practices designed to improve the quality and vitality of soil, often involving methods like reduced tilling, cover crops, and diverse crop rotations.

Carbon Sequestration

The process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide, often in soil or plants, to reduce its presence in the atmosphere.

Agroforestry

A land-use system where trees or shrubs are grown among crops or pastureland, combining agriculture and forestry practices for mutual benefits.

Perennial Production Systems

Farming systems that grow plants that live for more than two years, meaning they don't need to be replanted each season, which can improve soil health and reduce erosion.

Cover Crops

Crops planted primarily to manage soil erosion, improve soil health, enhance water availability, and control weeds and pests, rather than for harvest.
