Mission
THE FOUNDATION FOCUSED ON TWO TOPICS CENTERED AROUND THE THEME OF AGRICULTURE: FIRST WAS HOW AGRICULTURAL CONVERSION OF NATURAL VEGETATION AFFECTS SOIL CARBONATES, AND SECOND WAS HOW DIFFERENT FARMING PRACTICES SUCH AS TILLAGE AND CROP ROTATIONS AFFECT FARMER PROFITS. THE FOUNDATION CONDUCTED LITERATURE REVIEWS TO GATHER DATA ON THE TWO TOPICS. FOR THE FORMER TOPIC, THE FOUNDATION EXAMINED HOW CLIMATE AND SOIL FACTORS AFFECT THE CHANGE IN SOIL CARBONATES WITH CROP CULTIVATION.
