  • Summary

  • In this episode, we delve into the intricate relationship between agricultural practices, climate targets, and environmental sustainability. Our focus is on the nuanced realm of carbon removal and its significance in achieving climate goals. With a spotlight on the European Commission's proposed carbon farming concept, we explore the diverse challenges and potential risks associated with this approach. Our special guest, Sophie Scherger, Program Associate for Climate and Agriculture at the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy European Office, sheds light on the current status of European soils and their capacity to support carbon removal initiatives.

    Join us as we unpack critical questions such as the necessity of carbon removal solutions in combating the climate crisis, the role of agroecology in sustainable agriculture, and the importance of ensuring environmental and social equity in implementing these technologies.

    Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP) advocates for a fair and just transition toward more climate-resilient, agroecological systems for farmers and rural communities.
