The article offers a comprehensive overview of the environmental, economic, agricultural, and social advantages that soil carbon sequestration can bring, underscoring its critical role in sustainable agriculture. Carbon sequestration plays a pivotal role in climate change mitigation by capturing and storing carbon, turning agricultural lands into carbon sinks and reducing atmospheric CO2 levels.

Beyond its environmental impact, carbon sequestration significantly enhances soil health by improving structure, water retention, and nutrient availability, which in turn leads to more fertile soils, increased biodiversity, and higher crop yields. This not only benefits agriculture but also reduces the need for chemical inputs, offering cost savings for farmers. Additionally, farmers can capitalise on economic opportunities through carbon markets, generating additional income by selling carbon credits or offsetting supply chain emissions.

Furthermore, carbon sequestration drives rural development by creating jobs and boosting local economies through the adoption of sustainable farming practices, which often require more labour and innovation, thereby stimulating economic activity in rural areas.

CARBONICA is set to advance the benefits of carbon sequestration by introducing carbon farming techniques across Greece, North Macedonia, and Cyprus.

By promoting sustainable farming practices and reducing carbon footprints, CARBONICA aims to leverage the significant environmental, economic, and social benefits of soil carbon sequestration, driving progress in rural development and fostering a more resilient and sustainable agricultural sector in the region.
