Carbon Quantified Edition XXXI: Regenerative Agriculture & Shifting Trends in Carbon Projects
Welcome to the latest edition of Carbon Quantified, your trusted source for navigating the ever-changing landscape of climate action and sustainability.
Overview of the Thirty First Edition:
In our latest edition, we explore the evolving landscape of carbon offset projects and the crucial role of regenerative agriculture in addressing climate resilience and food security.
In the first article, "Shifting Trends in Carbon Offset Projects: A New Focus on Forestry Management," we examine how the international voluntary carbon market has shifted its focus from REDD+ projects to forestry management solutions in developed nations. This transition highlights a strategic pivot towards enhancing CO2 sequestration capabilities through improved forest management practices, particularly in the Americas.
Our second article, "How Regenerative Agriculture Can Secure Food and Bolster Climate Resilience," delves into the potential of regenerative agricultural practices to transform the food system. By promoting sustainable farming methods, regenerative agriculture can enhance soil health, increase farmers' income, and reduce supply chain emissions. This approach not only supports climate resilience but also strengthens food security, offering a viable pathway for sustainable development.
Stay informed as we continue to provide insights and perspectives on the latest trends and initiatives driving climate action and sustainability, empowering you to make informed decisions for a more sustainable future.
Shifting Trends in Carbon Offset Projects: A New Focus on Forestry Management
The international voluntary carbon market has experienced a significant shift in focus over the past decade. Project developers are increasingly turning their attention from traditional REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) initiatives to forest management solutions in developed countries. This change reflects a broader trend towards improving CO2 sequestration in forests, particularly in the Americas.
