Carbon farming in hot, dry coastal areas: an option for climate change mitigation.

The article discusses study on the carbon farming in dry, hot coastal areas as an option for the mitigation of climate change. The study uses Jatropha curcas plant, due to its role in reduction of atmospheric carbon dioxide level and its ability to grow alone to a harsh environments or hot desserts. It mentions that desalinated water that is used for mineral nutrients delivery and irrigation makes carbon farming a carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology.
