Abstract
Dynamically progressing climate changes and the need to ensure food security for a growing population prompt us to take intensive actions to reduce emissions and increase sequestration of CO2. New opportunities are seen in the implementation of carbon farming practices. The aim of the study was to present activities recommended within carbon farming that contribute to soil fertility and increased sequestration of organic carbon in the soil. The source of information were legal acts, reports and documents of international institutions and literature on the subject. It was indicated that carbon farming practices provide benefits in terms of productivity, environmental protection (biodiversity), water retention and stability in the soil, limiting soil erosion, and have a positive impact on the functioning of entire agroecosystems, thus increasing the resilience of agriculture to climate change. Implementing carbon farming practices can also provide an additional source of income for farmers through the sale of carbon credits.
