B. whereas sustainable carbon cycles must be considered in a holistic manner, as to ensure that increasing carbon sinks and replacing fossil carbon as much as possible will require more biomass production, thus affecting the land sector; whereas carbon farming schemerespects the do no harm and no deterioration principles; whereas carbon farming schemes based on nature-based solutions can be part of an incentivising market-based toolbox for delivering on climate objectives;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Considers that carbon conservationensuring healthy soils is already an important issue and will continue to be in the future, especially as it is a precondition for preserving soil fertility and for climate change adaptation, ensuring effective carbon sequestration and to strengthen EU´s resilience to climate change; emphasises that there should be no delay in the expected EU Soil Health Law as the common legislative framework will work towards this aim;
