Ok after listening to a podcast today Aussi ranches are requesting carbon for microsoft, so can anyone fill me in on how to get hooked up to a company ho would pay me for the "use of land" to sequester carbon in the uk. I see big business banging on about how kind to the environment they are being by offsetting there own dirty footprint on a nice piece of unspoilt land, who arranges these transactions ? how much land do you need? is anyone on the forum involved in any projects like this ? BTH they also said that feedlot beef produced massive amounts of co2 but that cows allowed to roam free had a tiny carbon footprint and that because the helped build up the sold structure with dung they actually helped the situation .. finally someone with a wide eye on the job Thought? P.s im not trying to do this i just though it might be a topic the forum could do with ?
doing it already

not looking for additional farms yet and when there is demand for more only those farming in ways that sequester and store maximum C whilst benefiting ecosystem
NFUS definitely do not think it’s the future. Just saying.If in any doubt. The NFU think it's the future. Which confirms it's bollox.
Dont worry about it, nobody is going to check... how can they?... just pocket the money and everyone is happy.even if your farming following regenerative practices doesn’t mean you have excess carbon to sell surely? What were your carbon tool kit results?
follow the moneySomeone needs to explain to me how any farmer can be anti Red Tractor, anti corporate control of the NFU, anti farmer subservience to input suppliers, yet pro carbon trading. Because I'm clearly missing something.
follow the money
Perhaps if he closes it down (and starts another in another name) he can claim carbon credits for the CO2 that the company is no longer emitting.Bill Gates investment fund is trying to buy private jet firm signature aviation just as he’s finished writing a book on how to avert climate disaster. It’s bollox with a capital B,
Good idea, do the same by changing tractors.Perhaps if he closes it down (and starts another in another name) he can claim carbon credits for the CO2 that the company is no longer emitting.
That really would be a great trick to pull off.
Could they really be that cynical.

How very big of you. Most of us can’t afford to live a life of moral perfection and are business minded enough to discuss and exploit a fledgling market for environmental goods.
Which is absolutely fine, so long as no-one signing up for this then continues to moan about being under the thumb of global corporations.
That’s a fair point
on yer bike @delilah .
Do you think I'm a muppet?
So, no, not a muppet lol.So i might be carefully advocating against it yet.
lol. Yup.
From the day they announced it, I have been saying on here that the NFU should scrap their 'net zero by 2040' target. Net zero will be for the next generation of farmers, what Red Tractor has been for this generation. A stick to be hit with.
Net zero and carbon trading are two sides of the same coin.
Every individual farmers who signs up for carbon trading, is sucking the entire industry into net zero.
As said, it needs the pause button hitting right now. National moratorium. Industry wide debate.
So, no, not a muppet lol.
I've a responsibility to my immediate nearest and dearest
