Guiding Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration Potential under Selected Farming Systems in Tanzania APNRF-Tanzania (C-Crops)

Theme: Soil Health for Improved Livelihoods
Land Capital
Start Date: 2023
Category: Completed
End Date: 2024

Description

Organic carbon improves soil fertility, soil structure, soil moisture retention, soil pH, reduces soil acidity and soil health in general. Healthy soils are fundamental for sustainable and improved crop production and livelihood of farming communities. This project will study the contribution of various crop production systems to sequestered soil organic carbon for appropriate land resources management and minimized emission of greenhouse gases.
