Carbon Farming Benefits: 10 Farmland & Urban Benefits “Carbon farming can increase soil carbon stocks by up to 1.2 tons per hectare annually, improving soil fertility and productivity.” The Multifaceted Benefits of Carbon Farming in Modern Agriculture As the world grapples with environmental degradation, climate change, and resource scarcity, innovative agricultural practices are gaining prominence. Among these, carbon farming stands out as a promising approach that integrates both traditional and modern sustainable farming practices, boosting productivity while mitigating emissions. By 2026 and beyond, carbon farming benefits continue to drive environmental and economic transformations across both farmland and urban spaces, making it critical for our food future. Key Insight 🔎 Integrating carbon farming practices is not just about sustainability—it’s an economic imperative for resilient, high-yield agricultural systems in 2026 and beyond. Understanding Carbon Farming Carbon farming refers to a suite of sustainable agricultural practices aimed at enhancing soil carbon stocks and improving ecosystem health. These practices directly contribute to lowering atmospheric CO₂ levels by capturing and storing carbon in soil and vegetation, thus supporting climate mitigation and environmental conservation. Key Practices in Carbon Farming 🌱 Cover cropping: Planting crops that cover soil year-round, reducing erosion and increasing organic matter. 🌳 Agroforestry: Integrating trees with crops and livestock for biodiversity...

Regrowing marginal farmland can curb emissions without cutting food output Berlin, Germany (SPX) Feb 18, 2026 Food production currently accounts for about one third of global greenhouse gas emissions, and agriculture places heavy pressure on biodiversity, water resources and water quality across Europe. Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) report that it is possible to cut climate emissions and relieve pressure on nature without reducing overall food output by reallocating where and how crops are grown. Agricultural activities are a major driver of habitat loss and ecosystem degradation, while also demanding large amounts of water and contributing to nutrient runoff that pollutes rivers, lakes and coastal waters. According to professor Francesco Cherubini, director of NTNU's Industrial Ecology Programme, agriculture in Europe is already highly intensive in many regions, leaving limited scope for further yield gains simply by increasing inputs on existing fields. Instead, he and his colleagues argue that the key lies in phasing out cultivation on land that is least suitable for crop production and concentrating efforts on more fertile, better structured areas. The NTNU team combined European satellite data with agricultural statistics to identify cropland used for cereals and vegetables across the continent, excluding grasslands used for animal feed. They focused on plots with...

Soil Association Scotland calls for 10% of farmland to go organic Soil Association Scotland has thrown down a pre-election challenge to Holyrood’s political parties, calling for 10% of the nation’s farmland to be farmed organically as part of its vision for the next parliamentary term. With the 2026 Scottish election approaching, the charity has launched its manifesto urging the next government to prioritise action on climate change, nature loss and public health through changes to farming and food policy. Central to its proposals is a 10% land target for organic farming, alongside a 10% target for organic ingredients in public sector procurement. The organisation is also seeking a multi-year increase in the agriculture budget and the creation of a £10 million fund for low-density tree planting on farms and crofts, to be developed in partnership with Woodland Trust Scotland. Public procurement sits at the heart of the plan. Soil Association Scotland wants Food for Life Served Here Bronze certification to become mandatory for all local councils, embedding Scottish produce and sustainable school meals more firmly in public catering. The Bronze standard prioritises recognised farm assurance schemes including Quality Meat Scotland red meat and Red Tractor chicken. The charity argues that government buying power could help reshape Scotland’s food system from schools...

Op-ed: The USDA Wants California to Abandon Farmland Equity. It Shouldn't. But the task force report simply documents specific state-sponsored injustices that lie at the root of current land inequity, such as the series of Alien Land Laws that effectively barred most Asian immigrants and their children from owning land in California into the 1950s. This history of identity-based domination over farmland needs to be confronted, rather than dismissed as political correctness. Finally, the return of tribal lands is a matter of government-to-government relations, not racial politics. The report calls attention to 18 treaties negotiated in 1851 and 1852 by U.S. government officials that promised approximately 8.5 million acres, or 7.5 percent of the state, to 120 villages, bands, and tribes. Congress never ratified these treaties and kept that secret, leaving the tribes with the false expectation that legal protection of the negotiated “Indian nations” would eventually come. Instead, while agreeing to the end of hostilities and to conform to United States law, the tribes suffered an increase in violence and dispossession, especially as the Gold Rush brought more settlers and their land claims to the region. While the “substantial constitutional concerns” of the letter are overwrought, they do raise an important question. If the USDA aggressively repels even the most...

'The plane flew and started spraying': Israel accused of poisoning Syrian farmland with chemicals The difference is striking: one side green, the other brown. It is the result of what local residents in the southern Syrian governorate of Quneitra say was the spraying of chemicals by Israeli planes inside Syrian territory in late January, destroying grazing areas and farmland. “The plane flew and started spraying all these places,” says a farmer in Kodana village, who asks to be identified as Abu Hussein. “Of course I was afraid. I was afraid for my children. This is the first time [I saw this].” He witnessed planes spraying on two days: two planes the first day and one the second. His children’s eyes turned red afterwards, he says. “I am a herder with cows, so I depend on the land for grazing. My source of living is gone,” he says. “Our job is farming. We’ve been doing this forever. Milking the cows. Making yoghurt and cheese. This spraying has affected the land for the next year. What did I do wrong?” Local officials say the area affected is about 60km long, comprising more than 600 acres of herding land and almost 100 acres of farming land, including land growing wheat and hay. A statement from Syria’s ministry...
