Agriculture is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. But, managed properly, it also has the potential to remove climate-warming carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the soil. KUNC’s Rae Solomon wondered if backyard gardeners could do the same thing.

Farmers in Colorado are increasingly experimenting with those techniques. And a growing statewide program asks consumers in urban areas to help out too.
