“Carbone des sols en Afrique : impacts des usages des sols et des pratiques agricoles” – 2020 – FAO IRD
Cet ouvrage est une contribution du Réseau « Carbone des sols pour une agriculture durable en Afrique » (CaSA) à l’Action commune de Koronivia pour l’agriculture.
“Farmers are Capitalizing on Carbon Sequestration: How Much is Your Carbon-Rich Soil Worth?” – 2016 – Modern Farmer
Environmentally-minded farmers are well aware that building up soil carbon is one key to achieving high yields without chemical inputs.
“Stocker du carbone dans les sols français: Quel potentiel et à quel coût ?” – 2021 – INRAE
L’Initiative « 4 pour 1 000 : les Sols pour la Sécurité Alimentaire et le Climat » propose d’augmenter chaque année d’un quatre millième le stock de carbone présent dans tous les sols du monde. L’INRAE a conduit une étude, centrée sur la France métropolitaine, visant à estimer le potentiel de stockage de carbone des sols agricoles et forestiers et, in fine, à mesurer la contribution potentielle de ce levier à l’objectif de réduction des émissions nettes de gaz à effet de serre.
“The Health-Energy-Water-Agriculture nexus: the solution for improving African livelihoods?” – 2019 – Patrick Musinguzi

“Tamm Review: Influence of forest management activities on soil organic carbon stocks: A knowledge synthesis” – 2020 – Mathias Mayer & al
Almost half of the total organic carbon (C) in terrestrial ecosystems is stored in forest soils. By altering rates of input or release of C from soils, forest management activities can influence soil C stocks in forests.
“Drawdown’s “System of Solutions” Helps to Achieve the SDGs” – 2020 – C.J.Frischmann, M.Mehra, R.Allard, K.Bayuk, J.P.Gouveia, M.R.Gorman
This entry describes the linkages between “Drawdown solutions” and the targets and goals set out by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is proposed that the implementation of these solutions can substantially help to achieve the SDGs by 2030, with even greater gains when implementing actions in parallel as a “system of solutions” enabled by broad-based, effective partnerships at local, regional, and international scales.

“Observations on Agro-Ecology after the Cyclone Idai” – 2019 – John Wilson
March 24, 2019: Important reflections from Zimbabwe after the cyclone by John Wilson - John Wilson is a Zimbabwean working as a freerange facilitator in East and Southern Africa with community based organisations, national NGOs, groups and also at times with regional or continental networks. This note to some of his partners and farmers in the region reflects on the horrors in the aftermath of Cyclone Idai and raises very important questions and concerns regarding lessons learned about agroecology, forest cover, and nature-based water management, and the role of "evidence based practices" in this context.
Film: “Mathieu sur un sol vivant” – 2019 – B.Defives with financing of CEA, Cirad, CNRS, INRAE & IRD
Un film réalisé en 2019 par Bastien Defives, sur le domaine de Viviers à Clapiers (34-France) dans l’espace test de la coopérative d’activité Terracoopa avec le financement collaboratif du CEA, Cirad, CNRS, de l’INRA et l’IRD.
Les perceptions et pratiques des agriculteurs sont au cœur de l'action pour la séquestration du carbone dans les sols agricoles, c'est l'une des conclusions des chercheurs et acteurs de terrain réunis à Sète en novembre 2018 autour de l’initiative "4 pour 1000 : les sols pour la sécurité alimentaire et le climat". Ce film livre le témoignage d'un agriculteur: Mathieu Yon interpelle son entourage, la recherche et les décideurs, à propos du dérèglement climatique auquel il fait face, du sol qu'il travaille à rendre plus fertile et des pratiques qu'il tente de mettre en place en "bonne intelligence avec le milieu".
“India’s Soils: Science-Policy-Practice Interfaces for Sustainable Futures” – 2017 – Raina R. & Kumar R.
National Conference organised by DST Centre for Policy Research-IIT Delhi, Revitalising Rainfed Areas (RRA) Network, Watershed Support Services and Activities Network (WASSAN) & Shiv Nadar University on February 26-28, 2017, at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi.

“Guia de buenas practicas agragrias” – 2020 – Carbocert
Guía de buenas prácticas agrarias Carbocert - secuestro de carbono y mejora del suelo en cultivos agrícolas mediterráneos.
In Spanish language - related to the mitigation strategy of agriculture, based in carbon fixation by soils and perennial woody structures of crops, offering with simplicity and clarity a series of agricultural managements, in six reference crops of the Mediterranean contour (wheat, olive, vine, citrus, almond tree and rice), which have scientifically proven their effectiveness not only in the increase of carbon sequestration in soils and in perennial structures, but also in matters of improving biodiversity, water retention, etc.

“Opportunities for soil sustainability in Europe” – 2018 – EASAC
In this report, launched on 26 September 2018, the European Academies’ Science Advisory Council (EASAC), which represents the national science academies of the EU, Norway, and Switzerland, says its latest synthesis reveals that policy-makers need to grasp opportunities to safeguard Europe’s soils and ensure their sustainability. Back in 2014, insufficient support among Member States obliged the European Commission to withdraw proposals for a Soils Directive and Europe still lacks appropriate benchmarks for soils’ sustainability and needs to improve compatibility between different national monitoring systems. In recent comments, Elisabeth Köstinger from the Austrian Presidency of the EU discussed the importance of protecting soils; however, concerted action from Member States remains to be seen.
