Emerging new global soil governance structure in agrifood systems: Taking the “4 per 1,000” initiative as an example by Li Li, Li Li, Xiaojing Song, Yang Liu, Li Chai, Li Chai

“…The SOC sink targets reveal that countries like China, India, the UK, the US, and France take more pains than those like Australia, Russia, and Canada. A new “soil carbon rich” and “soil carbon poor” divide is perceived, which needs to be taken into the GSG as a restructuring motivation for setting a more practical and integrated framework. …”
