Scientists are spreading crushed volcanic rock across farmland; here's how ordinary farms could help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

Crushed volcanic rock spread on farms accelerates natural carbon capture processes.

This method converts atmospheric carbon dioxide into stable bicarbonate ions for storage.

Basalt also releases essential nutrients, improving soil health and crop yields.

Field experiments show potential for significant carbon removal alongside agricultural benefits.

Ongoing research aims to verify effectiveness and integrate farms into carbon removal strategies.
