Episode 411 - Carbon Capture   addthis
Carbon Capture
Global warming, which most experts tie directly to carbon dioxide being emitted into the air, is gaining increasingly awareness. But, surprisingly, it turns out that farmers can have a large role in combating global warming by using methods designed to slow the release of carbon into the air. One of these techniques is "no-till" farming, which is being encouraged (and studied) by researchers at Kansas State University, who say that methods like this can reduce the release of carbon by 20 percent.
