Abstract: This paper is part 3 of a series concerned with harnessing private incentives to enhance the sustainability of agricultural production. Paper 1 outlines key principles and insights from existing research on the general requirements to achieve changes in agriculture to enhance sustainability, while Paper 2 applies those insights to water pollution caused by agriculture. This paper builds on those insights by examining the opportunities to increase sequestration of carbon in agricultural soils.
