Executive summary of the document: Reducing agricultural GHG emissions is not enough to reach the climate neutrality envisaged in the Green Deal by 2050, and efforts to implement large-scale carbon sequestration in European agricultural soils will be necessary. The renewed CAP includes improvements in environmental conditionality and foresees eco-schemes and agri-environmental measures that can help achieve this goal. Carbon sequestration in soil is cost-effective, but technological improvements are still required, as well as cooperation between the public and private sectors.
