  • 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.
