Carbon Sequestration and Storage in Agriculture: Discussion
Mr. Bill Callanan:
It is not rewilding - I want to be clear about that point - and nor is it effectively the abandonment of that land from an agricultural perspective. I would be careful regarding people generating a concern about that land. It does, however, concern managing the water table and so forth to ensure these lands are not emitting carbon, and that they instead present an opportunity to remove carbon.
