He allows the cover crops to mature and flower for pollinators and for maximum carbon capture in the biomass. Then as shown in the picture he drills a spring crop directly into the soil below the trash, as the cover crop decomposes into the soil, with no tillage, thereby saving fuel, minimizing disturbance and protecting the soil and it's captured organic matter.

Yet growing food is a prime cause of global warming, with up to a third of all greenhouse gases coming from the global food system. Recognising the scale of this challenge, a number of leading international companies have come together to develop a simple online tool for farmers so they can work out the environmental impact of their practices.
This is a simple but powerful online greenhouse gas calculator that helps farmers to work out the impact of their various operations on the environment, as well as their productivity. One example of the tool being used successfully is with cotton farmers in India. WWF-India wanted to assess the greenhouse gas emissions from farms using traditional cultivation methods for cotton compared with those using better management practices BMP.
The tool worked out that traditional cultivation used almost twice as much fertiliser as BMPs, and more than the recommended amounts. This results in almost double the greenhouse gas emissions, but, critically, doesn't increase the yield. The NGO is now working with farmers in Warangal district to promote BMPs in cotton production in order to reduce its environmental impact.
