A study from Conservation International revealed the enormous carbon-storage potential that’s achievable by adding trees to agricultural land worldwide. The study found that 54% of global agricultural land could be planted with more trees without sacrificing food security, yet capturing 3.3 billion tons of carbon per year. The study’s lead author explains that this figure is based on planting climate-suited tree species in field margins, tailored to individual farms’ needs.
