Sustainable agriculture
Sustainable agriculture projects implement practices that sequester carbon in agricultural soils or reduce on-farm greenhouse gas emissions — including no-till or reduced-till cultivation, cover cropping, agroforestry, and improved grazing management. Accurate measurement for this project type can be complex, and the field is rapidly evolving as monitoring technology such as dMRV improves. Credits represent the net change in soil carbon stocks or avoided emissions compared to baseline farming practices.
