Many countries, including Germany, have made their climate targets dependent on the implementation of methods for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Actors in the agricultural sector can contribute to this implementation. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding carbon dioxide removal (CDR) among agricultural actors. In this study, the authors interviewed 34 agricultural actors at the micro, meso, and macro levels to identify the factors hindering the implementation of CDR practices, namely soil carbon sequestration, biochar, and agroforestry. They identified 22 information needs related to the dimensions of Climate Change Mitigation, Technological Conditions, Environmental Impacts, Economics, Policy & Government, and Social Aspects from the interviews.
