Carbon farming innovation and scale-up
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: models, methods and data needed for the quantification of carbon farming activities and results are available for integration in a single monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) system, so that the costs and burden associated to carbon farming MRV are reduced to a minimum; use of carbon-removal and emission-reduction…
