To follow up on the article on the projected maize and wheat production in the world due to climate change, New York times has this article by Jacques Leslie that provides a possible solution to both potentials food shortage and global warming. The author describes how a method of carbon sequestration can help solve both.
"Now scientists are documenting how sequestering carbon in soil can produce a double dividend: It reduces climate change by extracting carbon from the atmosphere, and it restores the health of degraded soil and increases agricultural yields. Many scientists and farmers believe the emerging understanding of soil’s role in climate stability and agricultural productivity will prompt a paradigm shift in agriculture,..."
The article is pretty loaded with one of the solution that have become popular among environmental scientists. Read and ask any questions you might have.
