Making carbon crediting really work for farmers, Part 3
There are different schools of thought as to whether carbon-building practices should be verified via documenting that the practice is taking place or getting on the ground and measuring the soil for actual carbon change. If a verification program requires soil carbon measurement, this will demand a quick, efficient and flexible system. The Mobile Field Lab may be that system.
Applied no-till for carbon-positive farming
In the fall of 2008 the Rodale Institute partnered with Iowa State University, Michigan State University, North Dakota State University, University of Wisconsin, University of Minnesota and select farmers on a project to develop carbon-positive organic systems through reduced tillage and cover crop-intensive crop rotations. Now that the data are tabulated, we’re excited to share some of the highs and lows of the 2009 season.
