Leaching and Runoff emissions and how to reduce them

A quick summary of why leaching and runoff represents part of my emissions and how I can address it.

  1. Where do leaching and runoff emissions come from?
    Nitrogen leaches into groundwater or runs off into waterways, indirectly leading to nitrous oxide emissions downstream.
  2. How can I reduce my leaching and runoff emissions?
    • Use buffer strips or vegetation along waterways.
    • Apply nitrogen in split doses matching crop demands.
    • Incorporate soil amendments like biochar to retain nutrients.
