Question

what major changes in soil management will be necessary to improve global soil quality in the future?
​

Answer 1

Project Drawdown highlights three major soil management practices as actionable steps for climate change mitigation: improved nutrient management, conservation agriculture (including No-till agriculture), and use of regenerative agriculture.

Increasing the protection the soil is afforded by crop residues and plants; adding organic matter to the soil through crop rotations, manures, or crop residues; and carefully managing fertilizers, pesticides, tillage equipment, and other elements of the farming system can improve soil quality.
