Ramon Garcia is a farmer from near Marcos Juárez city, southeast Córdoba Province, Argentina, and a member of the Carbon Gap Network or Red de Brechas de Carbono (RBC) project from the Argentine No-Till Farmers Association (Aapresid).

RBC takes localized information on climate and the environment and translates it into actionable recommendations for farmers on the ground to maximize their soil’s organic carbon, and foster overall healthier soils.

Ramon’s interest in participating in RBC is to know how much his current agricultural practices are contributing to bringing his SOC levels closer to reachable or potential values for the region. Ramon is very aware of the importance of agricultural proposals aimed at taking care of soils’ health. That is why he employs continuous no-till farming, diverse sequences of crops that maximize the time of living coverage.

Learn more about Ramon’s experience with the RBC project, and the approach as a whole in a new brief co-produced by CA4SH and Aapresid to highlight approaches to scale global soil health.
