Hi,
Having trouble with this sentence.
Estamos hablando de que el sumidero que suponen las producciones ecológicas y ese 10% de superficie agraria útil es algo que tenemos que poner en valor en la lucha contra el cambio climático.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!

carbon sink
My educated guess, based on the little context provided ("producciones ecológicas", "lucha contra el cambio climático"), is that this refers to a "sumidero de carbono" = carbon sink.
Carbon sinks remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and play a part in fighting climate change.

More context would be useful. What exactly is the "10% de superficie agraria útil" they're referring to?
Also, the sentence itself is pretty weird. "Estamos hablando de que..." isn't something you'd write, normally.
Still, I hope that helps.
