Agricultural conservation provides farmers and ranchers with the tools necessary to adapt to a changing climate while simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas emissions and sequestering atmospheric carbon in soils and biomass. Voluntary conservation activities are emerging as climate solutions. The voluntary and regulatory carbon markets recognize the benefits of implementing voluntary conservation practices on agricultural working lands. This session will focus on the demonstration projects and the quantification tools developed by USDA to facilitate the participation of agricultural producers in emerging carbon markets.
