The first FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) Global assessment of Soil Carbon in Grasslands measured the baseline of stocks of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC).
SOC is the amount of carbon stored in soil organic matter.
It is made in both semi-natural and managed grasslands and estimated their potential of SOC sequestration.
Grasslands contain approximately 20 per cent of the world’s SOC.
The fodder gardens have a potential increase in soil carbon of 0.03 tonnes C/ha per year.
