Who "owns" the carbon on a farm? Landlord or tenant?

[QUOTE="beefandsleep, post: 7432346, member: 4148"] Without a baseline level of carbon measured at the start of a tenancy then I don’t see how the tenant can claim ownership. I agree with Clive’s point that as management affects soil carbon then management should be paid or get the benefits from it. On the other hand, would a tenant be happy to enter into an agreement that made him liable for carbon losses? It does seem rather an in exact science at the moment, I’m not sure I would be willing to leave myself open to a dilapidations bill based on a soil carbon test. If you were taking on some worn out short term fbt land that had been abused for 10 years then maybe, but 1, why would you want to take it on in that case. 2, the landlord wouldn’t put a financial reward for increasing soil carbon into the contract anyway.
