Soil C sequestration can strengthen land-based C sinks and off-set anthropogenic emissions.
Among numerous co-benefits of soil C sequestration are advancing food security, increasing supply and quality of water, enhancing biodiversity, among others.
Critical level of soil organic C concentration in the root zone is 1.5–2.0% by weight.
Degraded and depleted soils of agroecosytems have a high C sink capacity.
Soil C sequestration is a cost-effective and a win–win option.
