Overview
Air and climate encompass greenhouse gas emissions, carbon stocks and fluxes, and air pollutants associated with agricultural land use and management across farm and landscape scales that influence atmospheric composition and climate regulation.
In regenerative systems, the goal extends beyond reducing emissions to actively restoring climate-regulating functions by drawing carbon back into soils, vegetation, and agroecosystems. A stable climate and clean air underpin the resilience and adaptive capacity of farms and landscapes under increasing variability.
Air and climate outcomes are directly linked to soil condition, vegetation cover, water regulation, and biodiversity through carbon cycling and the buffering of climatic extremes. Economic incentives, governance, and input systems influence the management decisions that shape emissions, carbon stocks, and air quality.
