Carbon Sequestration => win win
Environmental benefits
- increased water holding capacity and use efficiency
- increased cation exchange capacity
- reduced soil erosion
- improved water quality
- improved infiltration, less runoff
- decreased soil compaction
- improved soil tilth and structure
- reduced air pollution
- reduced power requirement
- reduced machinery wear
- reduced fertilizer inputs- increase soil buffer capacity
- increase biological activity- increase nutrient cycling and storage
- increased diversity of microflora
- increase adsorption of pesticides
- increases land value and gives soil aesthetic appeal
- increase capacity to handle manure and other wastes
- more wildlifeCarbon

Expected Impact of the Kyoto Protocole

Only interest: get started!
More constrained future, hence stronger C market

What’s next after KP
What should be done: IPCC => recommend to divide GHGs emissions by a factor 2 or 3 to avoid going beyond double CO2 atmosphere (540 ppm)
What is being considered: European decision: from -8% reduction (under Kyoto) to –20% by 2020, or –30% if USA join.
What is still missing: Commitment to carbon sequestration

2. C sequestration in CO2e markets
![Page 12: Carbon sequestration and trading: Implications for agriculture François FALLOUX Eco-Carbone Presentation to International Policy Council Stratford, October.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062721/56649f265503460f94c3df21/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Marginal position of C sequestration
![Page 13: Carbon sequestration and trading: Implications for agriculture François FALLOUX Eco-Carbone Presentation to International Policy Council Stratford, October.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062721/56649f265503460f94c3df21/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Barriers to C sequestration in CO2e markets
A bad start with an exclusive focus on energy and industry sector
Key international NGOs not very supportive
Debate on carbon sinks vs. Sources Difficulty in terms of methodologies
and carbon monitoring plans Lack of advocacy from agriculture
and forestry sectors
![Page 14: Carbon sequestration and trading: Implications for agriculture François FALLOUX Eco-Carbone Presentation to International Policy Council Stratford, October.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062721/56649f265503460f94c3df21/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
5. Recommendations
![Page 15: Carbon sequestration and trading: Implications for agriculture François FALLOUX Eco-Carbone Presentation to International Policy Council Stratford, October.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062721/56649f265503460f94c3df21/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
8 recommendations
R1:need to inform the international debate on carbon sequestration in agriculture and forestry
R2: need for training and capacity building to promote carbon sequestration in agriculture and forestry in developing countries
![Page 16: Carbon sequestration and trading: Implications for agriculture François FALLOUX Eco-Carbone Presentation to International Policy Council Stratford, October.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062721/56649f265503460f94c3df21/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
8 recommendations (cont’d)
R3: need to scale up agricultural and forestry projects with carbon sequestration
R4: need to start developing carbon sequestration in developed countries
R5: need to promote no-tillage as one of the best ways to enhance soil carbon sequestration
![Page 17: Carbon sequestration and trading: Implications for agriculture François FALLOUX Eco-Carbone Presentation to International Policy Council Stratford, October.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062721/56649f265503460f94c3df21/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
8 recommendations (cont’d)
R6: need to combine carbon sequestration with biomass energy in agro-forestry projects
R7: need to simplify methodologies for baseline scenarios and carbon measuring and monitoring
R8: need to incorporate deforestation avoidance in carbon sequestration projects in developing countries
![Page 18: Carbon sequestration and trading: Implications for agriculture François FALLOUX Eco-Carbone Presentation to International Policy Council Stratford, October.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062721/56649f265503460f94c3df21/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Conclusions
Win-Win => carbon sequestration market incentive to contribute to enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability
Enhance carbon sequestration in both developed and developing countries through projects, policy and measures
