Hello Earthlings! This week, we're exploring the critical role of soil carbon measurement in combating climate change with Tom Sadan, Senior Business Development Consultant at Agricarbon, a company pioneering the field of soil carbon measurement and restoration. By utilizing advanced robotics, Agricarbon conducts large-scale soil carbon audits that support regenerative farming and carbon sequestration efforts.
Soil, often called a "hidden hero" in the fight against climate change, is a massive carbon sink capable of sequestering billions of tons of CO2. However, its benefits remain elusive, buried below ground, making accurate measurement and verification a challenge—until now. In this conversation, Tom highlights the growing financial incentives, with carbon credits that could be reach up to $100 per tonne, making regenerative farming a profitable option.
Key Points
- Scalable Soil Carbon Measurement: How Agricarbon's streamlined lab process is transforming soil testing efficiency, enabling farmers to adopt regenerative practices faster.
- Financial Incentives for Farmers: Exploring the growing profitability of carbon credits, now reaching up to $100 per tonne, and how it motivates farmers to sequester more carbon.
- Regenerative Agriculture's Climate Role: How soil, as a key carbon sink, is emerging as a natural solution to climate change, often outperforming engineered alternatives like direct air capture.
- Carbon Markets on the Rise: The expanding ecosystem of carbon credits and how farmers can capitalize on increasing demand to boost revenue while improving soil health.
