American Farmland Trust has developed a guidebook for farmers and their advisors to compare carbon market programs.
Water Initiatives Director Michelle Perez tells Brownfield reduced tillage, cover crops, and nutrient management are the most incentivized practices.
“The recent agricultural carbon markets really started around 2016, so it’s just been very recently that probably over a dozen of them have proliferated, and now most of them are focused on cropland,” she shares.
