Webinar: Is there a limit to Soil Organic Carbon sequestration?

September 7, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm EEST

This webinar is being organised by the Scientific and Technical Committee of "4per1000" The International 4per1000 initiative presents Soil Carbon Science Webinar Series. Join us for an insightful webinar on the role of soil organic carbon (SOC) in maintaining soil functions and mitigating climate change. SOC plays a vital role in crop production, nutrient and water cycling, carbon storage, and habitat for soil biodiversity. Recent developments have defined SOC into two operational fractions: particulate organic carbon (POC) and mineral-associated organic…

Webinar – Indicators to measure circularity: developments & considerations

September 15, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am CEST

SAVE THE DATE! The Circular Food Systems Network is organising a webinar this coming September on indications for circular food systems. On September 15th, we would like to discuss with you the questions: can we measure circularity? How would we do that? And what are the limitations of using indicators? Indicators are a way to measure circularity of a food system, but are there alternatives? How important is it to measure circularity? How important is it to make circularity measurable…

Webinar: HoloRuminant Joint Dissemination Network, Session 2

September 19, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm NZST

The HoloRuminant Joint Dissemination Network (JDN) consists of 5 projects representing a complementary effort to reduce the environmental and climate footprint of livestock production - while guaranteeing genetic diversity and efficient production in a more constrained environment - by focusing on the mitigation of GHG emissions improving the health and welfare of farmed animals and increasing the sustainability of animal production systems. The project group joins forces to provide an environment to optimize and share efforts.  Registration details for all webinars can be found HERE.

Webinar – “Soil inorganic carbon: The often unaccounted yet irrecoverable carbon pool”

October 17, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am EEST

This webinar is being organised by "4 per 1000" and is the second in their soil carbon science webinar series. Soil inorganic carbon (SIC), a pivotal component of terrestrial carbon stocks, contributes to up to half of the terrestrial C stock and holds significance in arid and semi-arid environments. Despite its importance in agriculture, CO2 sequestration, and climate regulation, SIC has received less attention compared to soil organic carbon (SOC). Recent findings challenge the notion of SIC's negligible contribution to…
