A recent study by Technische Universitat Munchen showed that organic farms emit around 20 percent less greenhouse gases per yield unit than conventional farms.34 The Rodale Institute found that organically managed soils can actually sequester more carbon than they release.35 They found that if all cropland were converted to the regenerative model, it would absorb 40 percent of annual carbon dioxide releases, and if ranching lands were to do the same, those lands would absorb an additional 71 percent.
