[QUOTE="ajd132, post: 8129253, member: 4612"] Whatever you think of it morally or ethically this kind of stuff is happening, and it will happen regardless of whether farmers want to do it or not. Look at these huge tree planting carbon offset projects. personally I feel it’s an opportunity to grow food and do the carbon stuff at the same time. If we don’t grab it and prove we can do both then you will see far more farms ending up re wilded or into trees. There is a good opportunity here to take the initiative but no doubt what will happen is farmers will be sceptical, end up getting screwed over and it becoming mandatory. Although saying that, these markets put a baseline price into the value of the carbon footprint/sequestration of food. So for example if a mill suddenly demands we do all these things to help them out, we can demand a premium because the market is there setting a value. This is just how I see it at the moment, the moral and ethical debate is a different one but I think the world is already way past that so I can’t see this kind of thing suddenly disappearing.
