In the face of climate change, healthy soils can remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the soil. It can change agriculture and land management from a major cause of climate change to a solution within reach!

Storing carbon in the soil is an important solution to climate change and offers many additional benefits such as, increased water abundance, moderation of extreme weather, food security and good livelihoods for farmers and ranchers.

Whether you live in an urban or rural area in California, we can all participate in regenerating land by capturing carbon through soil health.

• How can we drawdown carbon with healthy soils?
• How does regenerating landscapes sequester carbon and stabilize the climate?
• What is being done in California? What can we do?
