The global food system could potentially capture more than ** metric tons of carbon dioxide per year (GtCOâ‚‚e/y) by mid-century by implementing a range of cost-effective technologies and practices. These reductions would be achieved by adopting agroforestry, applying biochar to soils, improving crop management using tillage and cover crops, and enhancing pasture management through rotational grazing and fertilisation. Currently, global food systems emit around ** ³Ò³Ù°ä°¿â‚‚e/²â.
