Approval of the 'Improving Agricultural Soil Management' methodology to enhance carbon sequestration and agricultural resilience

March 20, 2025 | Agri-harvest (In Chinese) |

 

Taiwan’s Ministry of Environment has approved a new voluntary carbon reduction methodology—“Improved Agricultural Soil Management”—proposed by the Ministry of Agriculture to enhance soil carbon sequestration. By increasing soil organic matter and reducing soil disturbance, this method strengthens farmlands’ ability to capture carbon while improving resilience to extreme weather. Based on international practices and adapted to Taiwan’s agricultural context, the methodology includes measures such as applying organic materials, reducing tillage, returning crop residues to fields, cover cropping, and converting fallow land to green manure. This initiative supports both climate goals and food security.
