<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%">6. Sustainable intensification is already practiced on 10% of the world’s farmlands. A collection of simple procedures raises productivity, reduces atmospheric carbon and increases soil carbon,
and lowers costs. Such practices, along with a biochar program, have the potential to lower the average global temperature almost half a degree C, or a little less than half of the warming so far (assuming we bring our emissions under control).
