Mitigation of GHGs emissions is a great global survival disquiet for today’s world. This mitigation mostly revolves around industrial sectors. Agriculture sector has always been judged as the crop and livestock based economic system. Soil carbon (C) has only been considered within the budget of soil carbon (C) pool, but sequestrated C is yet to be judged as the marketable unit in large scale. Increasing “C-sequestration” can simultaneously offer alleviation of GHGs emission hitch, an additional economic benefit to the farmers as well as the growing industrial involvement in agriculture for corporate sustainability in terms of carbon marketing.
