1. Underwrite a $4 billion-per-yr campaign to restore trees to the landscape. A national restoration campaign could focus on enhancing timberlands & reforesting disturbed non-agriculture lands, expanding urban tree cover & integrating trees into agriculture systems.

3. Launch a 10-million-acre farm innovation program.
#Agriculture soil management could help remove 100-200 million tons of CO2 per year by 2050. Enhancing soil carbon can also increase farm profitability and prevent erosion.#CarbonShotpic.twitter.com/g00Qgvgg8D

4. Establish a foundational research program for carbon mineralization, which produces solid materials that can be used in building materials like concrete. While relatively unexplored, federal R&D could help establish mineralization pathways.

5. Develop crops with more, deeper and larger roots that could increase carbon storage in soils. An estimated 185 million tons of CO2 could be removed from the atmosphere per year through this method.
