Energy Future Coalition (EFC)

While many people understand that agriculture and forestry enterprises will be impacted by climate change, fewer people understand that biological systems can actually capture and store carbon through management practices.  In fact, agriculture, reforestation and avoiding deforestation can potentially mitigate 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions. 

On March 3, the Energy Future Coalition hosted a meeting on Terrestrial Carbon.  The following presentations outline the opportunities of this overlooked resource.
