The combination of implemented project activities will reduce the amount of released CO2 and N2O against common practices and sequester carbon in the soils, qualifying for CO2 removal.

The program fosters soil fertility restoration and improvement of cash-crop yields while building the resilience of the farming systems to the impacts of climate change and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural practices within the borders of the Republic of Lithuania. One of the project's main objectives is to reduce soil disturbance and introduce proper residue management. Changing tillage practices from intensive to minimal, no-till, or strip-till will improve soil organic carbon stock retention and accumulation, increase in organic matter, waterholding and nutrient capacity. The practice aims to keep soil surface covered to create the best environment for microbiom to grow.

Soil is recognised as the second largest carbon pool after the oceans and one of the crucial components of the biosphere, supplying primary ecosystem services and functions. The importance of Improved Agriculture Land Management is prominent to reduce excessive CO2 from the atmosphere and mitigating global warming to maintain temperatures 1.5 °C or 2 °C set by the targets of the Paris Agreement.
