The escalating global population, coupled with increased urbanization and industrialization, is placing immense strain on natural resources and exacerbating climate change through greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Primary sources of these emissions include the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and intensive agricultural practices, all of which release significant quantities of carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O). Soil organic carbon (SOC), representing the largest terrestrial carbon reservoir, is crucial in climate change mitigation as it sequesters atmospheric carbon. This study aims to assess the capacity of soil carbon sequestration and carbon credit mechanisms to reduce GHG emissions, enhance soil health, and foster sustainable agriculture.
