The New York Times article highlights what has been researched in Marin County, California using restorative agriculture techniques including utilizing compost spread out over grasslands to increase carbon sequestration.

Many of California’s carbon-farming efforts owe a debt to Wick, Creque and Silver. In 2008, they founded the [Marin Carbon Project](https://www.marincarbonproject.org/) a consortium of ranchers, scientists and land managers. The goal is to develop science-based carbon-farming practices and to help establish the incentives needed to encourage California farmers to adopt them. Silver continues to publish her findings in respected journals. Creque also started a nonprofit, the Carbon Cycle Institute, that assists farmers and ranchers in making carbon-farming plans.
