Decarbonization of Agriculture
• “NO-TILL” FARMING reduces water & energy for cultivation.
• No-till involves planting seeds without turning over the soil, using specialist drilling equipment capable of cutting through carbon rich surface crop residues
NOTILLPRACTICES
• To protect Gran Chaco as the second largest biome in South America
• To avoid any ilegal deforestation
• AGROIDEAL PROGRAM
NODEFORESTATION
• To implement & to certify food and feed value chain dedicated to exports
• CARBON NEUTRAL PROGRAM OF ARGENTINA (CNA)
CARBONNEUTRALITY
u According to the latest estimates of 2019, the adoption of NO TILL FARMING in Argentina is 93%: 30,181,000 Ha
u Argentina is the country in the world that has most reduced soil erosion, through a high adoption of conservation practices. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-02142-7
