Establishing your Carbon Baseline

[skye @ bofin]

An important part of the NCS project is to encourage and support 200 UK farmers to establish their farm carbon baseline using the Farm Carbon Toolkit. This thread will give some great tips and links to help you complete your carbon baseline. We encourage you to use this thread to ask for help, give advice or discuss your results with other PulsePEP members. If you would like some help calculating your baseline, get in touch with Farm Carbon Toolkit directly or email BOFIN at [email protected]

Supporting accurate measurement of soil carbon through the use of remote sensing and other novel technologies -

The ability to measure, monitor and verify soil carbon stocks is becoming ever more important, especially for businesses wishing to get involved with the voluntary carbon markets. There is however a key barrier to effective and consistent soil carbon measurement and this is the cost of collection and analysis of soil samples, as well as the duration over which any increases in soil carbon are considered relevant to the carbon balance. To assist with effective UK voluntary carbon market development a set of minimum standards for UK Soil Carbon Codes was issued in December 2022 to help shape the development of agreed standards for investment in soil carbon in the UK.
