Welcome to my blog, where I share insights, updates, and thoughts on the environment.
Carbon farming involves agricultural practices designed specifically to sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in the soil and vegetation, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Carbon markets are trading systems in which carbon credits are bought and sold. Each credit represents the reduction or removal of one metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions.
At its core, regenerative agriculture is a holistic approach to farming that emphasizes restoring and enhancing ecosystems rather than merely sustaining them.
We created the drawing below to provide a very simple explanation of how people generate excess carbon dioxide, how companies can buy carbon credits, what their purchases deliver, and how companies can save money through tax incentives.
My journey into sustainability took off in 2018 when a colleague of mine and I noticed that a plant we bred had a remarkable ability to capture and sequester carbon dioxide far better than others.
This process of measuring from baseline to additionality and reporting it is what establishes quality carbon credits.
