That comes after the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation’s global symposium in Italy this week that focused on the potential of organic carbon soil.
The UN has warned that soil has become one of the most vulnerable resources in the world, in the wake of a changing climate, land degradation, and biodiversity loss.
The Pacific Community’s soil expert, Siosiua Halavatau, said if more carbon was stored in soil as organic carbon, it would reduce the amount present in the atmosphere, and help reduce global warming.
“In relation to the Pacific Islands, I think improving the organic matter of the soil, if we use it as part of the national commitments of each country to mitigating climate change, I think we will go a long way to achieving this,” he said.
