At least there will be if agriculture can elbow its way to the table to share in the massive amounts of money that society is about to spend on removing carbon from the atmosphere.
Atmospheric carbon is an outgrowth of an affluent society.
It comes largely from the fossil fuels used to drive cars and fire industry. Much of society is convinced that growing levels of carbon are causing global warming and climate change. True or not, governments and industries around the world are ready to start throwing money at this problem. Agriculture offers a viable solution to those environmental concerns, but farmers and their political allies have to get that solution into the public sector. When stalks and roots from an average corn crop are left to deteriorate in a no-till system, more than 1000 pounds of carbon per acre can be retained in the soil as humus.
