Carbon Direct, Varaha, Living Carbon, Eion, Pantheon Regeneration - Panel Discussion

The Golden States’ Bread and Butter: Agriculture

• Nature-based solutions (NBS) in agriculture are increasingly being adopted in California to address environmental challenges and enhance sustainability. Which solutions have been the most favourable and why? Do these practices differ from other agricultural states?
• In the US, farmers are known to be fairly conservative in adopting new practices. How do project developers motivate farmers to change and improve practices?
• Regenerative agriculture is critical to decarbonising the food sector, however, the responsibility for delivery is often with the farmers who face an increase in risk and costs.  How do carbon credits support farmers, and how much do subsidies impact regenerative agriculture?
• The potential for storing carbon in soil is greater than previously believed. ERW and biochar also promise to positively re-shape agriculture for farmers and storage capacity. What are the main opportunities and challenges for these approaches?
