A Kansas State professor says climate change could be costing farmers opportunities in carbon markets.
Dr. Chuck Rice says rainstorms are increasing in frequency and intensity leading to soil erosion and carbon sequestration issues. “Cover is extremely important, otherwise you’re going to lose the carbon and the soil nutrients and it’s going to go downstream.”
Speaking with Brownfield at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Carbon Summit, he told Brownfield conservation practices will help reduce erosion, increase opportunities for return on investment and improve soil health.
