Drawdown: Soil

▲ ▼

description Drawdown: Soil Overview

Drawdown: Soil refers to the regenerative agricultural practices outlined by the Project Drawdown organization as methods for reversing climate change. Project Drawdown evaluates environmental solutions, identifying soil health improvements—such as cover cropping, conservation agriculture, and managed grazing—as critical components for global carbon sequestration. By increasing organic matter in topsoil, these practices capture atmospheric carbon dioxide while simultaneously improving crop yields and ecosystem resilience. This data is intended for policymakers, farmers, and environmentalists seeking actionable climate mitigation strategies.

help Drawdown: Soil FAQ

What does Drawdown: Soil mean?

Drawdown: Soil refers to Project Drawdown's climate solutions involving healthier agricultural soils. Examples include cover cropping, conservation agriculture, and other practices that improve soil management.

How can healthier soil help address climate change?

Better soil management can increase soil organic matter and improve the movement of water and nutrients. These practices may also help store more carbon in soil while supporting farm resilience.

What is cover cropping in the Drawdown: Soil approach?

Cover cropping means growing plants to protect and improve soil between or alongside cash crops. It can reduce erosion, support soil structure, and contribute organic matter when managed well.

Who developed the Drawdown: Soil solution category?

The category comes from Project Drawdown, an organization that evaluates climate solutions. It treats soil health as part of a wider set of agricultural and land-management actions.
