Urban Farming with Enhanced Rock Weathering As a Prospective Climate Stabilization Wedge
Fatima Haque, Rafael M. Santos, Yi Wai Chiang
Abstract
. Urban farming involves extensive surface areas, such as roofs, balconies, and vertical spaces, allowing for soil presence and atmospheric carbon sequestration through air-to-soil contact. In this viewpoint we also advocate the incorporation of enhanced rock weathering (ERW) into urban farming, providing a further opportunity for this recognized negative emissions technology that is gaining momentum worldwide to gain greater utilization.
