FAO RECSOIL

RECSOIL is a mechanism for scaling up sustainable soil management (SSM) with a focus on increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) and improving overall soil health. The priorities are to: a) prevent future SOC losses and increase SOC stocks; b) improve farmers' incomes; and c) contribute to food security. RECSOIL focuses on agricultural and degraded soils. The mechanism supports the provision of incentives for farmers who agree to implement good practices. The RECSOIL initiative aims to materialize the global win–win potential of soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration, bringing together private and public organizations, scientific institutions, local communities, and farmers.
