I thought humans spent thousands of years removing rock from dirt to create framland.
Are they trying to reverse that?
Certainly destroying the farmland and letting people starve would result in decreased carbon dioxide emissions.
- PeterisP 3y agoIt depends on the soil pH, where it's needed, crushed olivine is already used to increase crop yields (see e.g. https://modernfarmer.com/2023/09/enhanced-rock-weathering/ https://modernfarmer.com/2023/09/enhanced-rock-weathering/ ) where it's close enough / cheap enough. Bringing it everywhere where it could be useful, though, is unlikely to happen without subsidies to cover the transport costs, but the need for carbon capture might support that.
