Science Webinar provided novel research results on soil, carbon sequestration and water protection

Event Carbon Action Regenerative Agriculture

Regenerative agricultural practices that control soil structure and hydrology can play part in both climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration and water protection through minimizing nutrient runoffs. Carbon Action Science webinar on Soil, carbon sequestration and water protection on 9th of March 2021 gathered around 200 participants from different backgrounds and countries around the topic.

The webinar was opened by the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change Krista Mikkonen and several speakers brought out novel research results on managing soils for both increased carbon sequestration and reduced phosphorus losses.

The webinar was moderated by Laura Höijer, Content Director of the Baltic Sea Action Group (BSAG). The webinar was organized as part of the MULTA project. The MULTA project is funded by the Strategic Research Council, and it is on the Carbon Action platform. SEB provided facilities for the webinar as part of the Baltic Sea co-operation with BSAG.
