Carbon sequestration in agricultural lands removes carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere, and thus is a way to offset greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With this recognition, carbon is evolving into a new commodity for producers.

ETACS seeks to determine the factors influencing adoption of conservation practices that can sequester atmospheric carbon.

Environment
How does the environment affect adoption of conservation practices?

Economics
What are the economic determinants for land use decisions?
