📍What are the challenges to carbon farming?

✅Effectiveness and usefulness depend on multiple factors

✅The effectiveness of carbon farming varies depending on multiple factors — geographical location, soil type, crop selection, water availability, biodiversity, and farm size and scale.

✅Its usefulness also depends on land management practices, sufficient policy support, and community engagement.

✅Carbon farming can be challenging in hot and dry areas
In regions with adequate rainfall and fertile soil, the potential for carbon sequestration through practices like agroforestry and conservation agriculture may be particularly high.

✅On the other hand, carbon farming can be challenging in hot and dry areas where the availability of water is limited.

✅Limited water availability can hinder the growth of plants, thus restricting the potential for sequestration through photosynthesis.

✅Selection of plants
