Grazinglands Reduce Greenhouse Gases

Through effective policy implementation, grazinglands can reduce greenhouse gases through carbon sequestration and emissions reduction offset credits. Carbon sequestration is the long-term storage of carbon in the ground or oceans, slowing the buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the soil of grazinglands through the natural process of photosynthesis by green plants. The subsequent cycling turns some of that carbon into soil organic carbon--and into an environmental, societal and economic benefit for every country with these grazinglands.
