FOLLOWING a detailed review of the soil carbon market, Environmental Farmers Group (EFG) has announced agreements with Regenerate Outcomes and Ecometric, two UK-based soil carbon programme providers.
EFG members manage a variety of farm types and sizes, including those growing potatoes as part of their rotation. The affiliation will enable member growers to access discounted rates and favourable terms to measure, manage and monetise soil carbon on their farms.
The review examined the integrity, methodology and market readiness of multiple providers.
Soil carbon programmes allow growers to track and measure soil carbon over time, building datasets that support informed management decisions and can generate verified carbon credits. These credits can either be retained to offset on-farm emissions, sold to supply chain buyers, or sold on the voluntary carbon market, creating an additional income stream.
EFG will facilitate trading carbon credit sales (where members wish to trade) through its existing network of buyers, leveraging the cooperative’s scale to secure competitive pricing.
Any growers who are not EFT members but would like more information can email EFG
