The objectives of the agreement

• Limiting global warming to less than 2 degrees centigrade by 2050, compared to the pre-industrial era – the 18th century. The aim is to limit the warming by the end of the 21st century to only 1.5 degrees centigrade. 
• Increasing the ability to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change and fostering resistance to climate change, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in a manner that will not harm food production.
• Encouragement of funneling money for greenhouse gas emission reduction and climate change resistance. 
• Industrialized commercial processing of agricultural land and deforestation are among the most significant factors in climate change.

The agricultural sector is a sector capable of turning into a CO2 curator from a CO2 emitter. In fact, there is no other field in the world where it is possible, with the right and appropriate management, to make a change with such great potential.

The challenge is to turn standard agricultural processing methods, such as intensive mechanization, land segmentation, synthetic fertilization, and chemical pesticides, deforestation, overgrazing, methods that cause significant release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, into methods that allow the long-term storage and sequestration of carbon in the soil (decades to centuries, or more).

Carbon Farming succeeds when carbon profits stemming from improved management of soil-plant systems outweigh carbon losses from the same land unit.
