Soils are a massive store of carbon, estimated at 2,500GT around the world, and farmers and landowners have the potential to enhance carbon storage and reduce emissions on their land by encouraging methods to increase soil organic matter or reduce the impact of tillage in carbon release to the atmosphere.
As a result, there is huge interest in the soil carbon code that is currently under development in the UK.
Monetising this potential income stream provides farmers and landowners with a significant opportunity.
However, it is likely that farmers will need to demonstrate that they are net zero before selling any carbon and selling new credits too early could mean that you need to buy back credits at a higher price to get to net zero.
