Enhanced Rock Weathering in the Global South: Exploring Potential for Enhanced Agricultural Productivity and Carbon dioxide Drawdown
F. Garrett Boudinot, Gabrielle Dreyfus, Caitlan Frederick, Yifan Powers (Precision Development (PxD) and the Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development (IGSD)); January 2023; 42 pp.
The authors aim to identify opportunities in agriculture with potential benefits for smallholder farmers, either directly or through compensation mechanisms for their environmental services, as well as for GHG mitigation. In identifying these opportunities, the authors will outline the evidence for impact on farmers‘ outcomes and on GHG-mitigation outcomes as well as address challenges in building that evidence, particularly in outcome measurement methods. They will also address practical next steps to build a pathway to scale for the identified opportunities.
