[QUOTE="N.Yorks., post: 7424145, member: 46426"] Business is going to be compelled to achieve net zero C by 2050 and some industries have decided to achieve this sooner. Farm businesses will have to achieve Net Zero like any other sector. There'll be business changes such as cutting out unecessary input consumption that doesn't effectively contribute to output for example, many other examples too. Farms will only be doing what every other business has to do. We'll then have the opportunity to utilise land to maximise the capture of C through soil management and hedge/woodland/forestry creation. The core farm business will then be able to offset their own carbon emissions against the C they capture (sequester); the surplus C they have captured will then be available to trade with other businesses who can't achieve zero C and have to offset. This all makes sense in the medium term I guess, but then what happens once all business has eventually transitioned to zero C in the long term? The effect of net zero drives C trading/offsetting and halts further atmospheric increases in CO2, but what happens then? Atmospheric CO2 concentrations will still be high, not rising, what will drive the desire to then become Carbon negative ie. the continued capture of C to actually reduce atmospheric CO2? [/QUOTE]
