Wageningen University Challenges Europe's Carbon Farming Climate Strategy
Wageningen, Monday, 26 January 2026.
New research from Wageningen University reveals carbon farming may offer only ‘symbolic reassurance’ rather than genuine climate solutions. While European policies increasingly rely on agricultural soil carbon capture to offset emissions, the study warns this approach risks delaying actual emission reductions and structural agricultural reforms. The research highlights critical uncertainties in soil carbon storage permanence and suggests carbon farming works best when integrated with broader sustainability goals like biodiversity and water management, rather than as standalone climate policy.
