دانلود کتاب کشاورزی کربن منفی – مسیرها، شیوه‌ها و سیاست‌هایی برای آینده کشاورزی پایدار

The accelerating climate crisis has placed agriculture at the center of both the problem and the solution. While traditional farming practices contribute significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions, innovative systems rooted in ecological restoration and carbon stewardship are redefining agriculture’s role in climate action. This book, Carbon-Negative Farming, emerges from that imperative, an effort to synthesize science, technology, and practice into a coherent framework for transforming agriculture from a net emitter to a net sink of carbon. Drawing from the latest global and Indian research, this book explores the science, methods, and policy mechanisms that enable farms to achieve net-negative greenhouse gas outcomes. It translates complex concepts, such as carbon sequestration, regenerative land use, biochar application, enhanced rock weathering, and carbon accounting, into actionable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. The chapters provide both conceptual clarity and practical guidance, linking field-based evidence with emerging innovations in digital monitoring, carbon markets, and sustainable finance. The purpose of this book is two-fold: first, to deepen scientific understanding of how farming systems can actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; and second, to present replicable pathways for scaling these practices in diverse agro-ecological regions. By integrating soil science, plant physiology, ecology, and economics, Carbon-Negative Farming aspires to serve as a comprehensive reference for advancing climate-positive agriculture. The inclusion of plant physiological principles highlights the central role of photosynthesis, carbon allocation, and plant– soil interactions in determining the efficiency of carbon capture and storage within agricultural ecosystems. At its core, this book recognizes that the journey to net-negative agriculture is not only a technical transition but a philosophical one, a return to harmony between human activity and natural systems. The integration of indigenous wisdom, regenerative principles, and circular resource use offers a vision of farming that restores the earth while feeding its people. It is hoped that this book will serve researchers, students, development professionals, and policymakers seeking a science-based, systems-oriented understanding of carbon-negative agriculture. The ideas presented here reflect both the urgency of the climate challenge and the optimism that resilient, restorative, and carbon-absorbing food systems are within our reach.
