Agriculture sector focuses on carbon sequestration and soil health
Agricultural sectors are increasingly adopting methods to quantify environmental contributions, specifically through carbon sequestration. The GreenLand 2025 Sustainability Report, issued by the Spanish agro-industrial group Greenplus, indicates that Hass avocado crops captured 28,266 tons of CO2 during the analyzed period. This figure is 25% higher than the group's total emissions, supporting its Carbon Neutral certification.
In a related technical context, the Aapresid Carbon Network emphasizes the importance of measuring soil organic carbon (SOC) to evaluate soil health and management impacts. Experts recommend using spring as an ideal window for sampling due to optimal moisture levels. Establishing a baseline through periodic measurements allows producers to track how crop rotations, nutrition, and direct seeding affect carbon stocks over time.
