Critical Insights into Carbon Farming. Bringing Carbon Farming from Science to Organic and Regenerative Farms

Summary in the original language of the document

Summary and Recommendations
From the beginning of crediting:
• Make sure to have contracts ready: when to pay, minimum and maximum defined payments, do farmers need to pay back?, who pays for soil sampling?....
• Including farm advisors from the beginning makes sense and can motivate the farmer to implement additional sustainable soil practices.
• Limit (administrative) burden on farmers
Be very clear:
Do we want to compensate CO2 emissions in agriculture?
Or do we want to finance sustainable farming?
