Session Description: Greenhouse gases contributing to global warming warming are over abundant, while burgeoning populations is increasing pressure on scarce resources. are Soil managment to reduce or mitigate agricultural greenhouse gas.  Croplands can be a net source or a net sink of greenhouse gas.  Increasing soil organic carbon  has mutualistic benefits in that it can shift agriculture from a net source to a net sink, in addition increasing soil organic carbon can improve over all soil heatlth.  This session will focus on strategiese to utilize managed lands (i.e., crop and grazinglands) to meet nation and international goals to mitigate greenhouse gas and improve soil health. challenges of Presentations that include greenhouse gas intensity or yield-scaled emissions
