Carbon Farming and Carbon Credits

Carbon farming pays growers for practices that store carbon in soil and trees, such as no-till and cover cropping. The articles here explain how agriculture carbon credits are priced, verified and sold, what farm carbon credits actually pay in the USA, and how the market differs in Australia and the UK, including ACCU sales and the VM0042 methodology.

Other pieces look at the science underneath: farming and carbon cycles, the effect of farming practices on the carbon budget, biochar for sequestration and whether biofuels cut emissions compared with fossil fuels. Farmers and advisers weighing enrolment, and agribusiness staff building carbon programs, will find the practical material most useful, while a few articles cover related topics such as agronomic data systems and the downsides of carbon farming and IoT.
