Project description
The future of soil carbon research and innovation
Soils are an enormous reservoir of carbon. As such, it’s important to scale up conservation and increase soil carbon stocks and harness the co-benefits for climate change mitigation and adaptation. In this context, a first coordination action led by the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (INRAE), brought together hundreds of stakeholders who formalised interest in establishing an International Research Consortium (IRC) on Soil Carbon. Now, the EU-funded ORCaSa will launch and roll out the initial operational phases of the IRC on Soil Carbon so that by 2024 the IRC has established an international position as the coordinator of soil carbon research and innovation.
