The 2nd Carbon Farming Summit has officially begun, marking a major milestone in the advancement of climate-positive farming and carbon sequestration. Experts from policy, finance, and agriculture have gathered in Dublin to explore the latest developments in carbon farming methodologies, certification frameworks, and market-based solutions.
Policy and Market Frameworks: Setting the Stage for Scalable Carbon Farming
The event was launched by Martin Heydon, Ireland’s Minister for Agriculture, Food, and the Marine, emphasizing the need for a structured and credible carbon farming market within the EU’s broader climate policy.
One of the most impactful moments came from Christian Holzleitner (DG Clima), who reinforced the urgency of scaling high-integrity carbon removals and the need for robust regulatory frameworks. His presentation focused on:
✔️ Developing a strong EU-wide carbon credit market – ensuring fair and transparent trading mechanisms.
✔️ Certification and MRV (Measurement, Reporting, Verification) methodologies – critical for ensuring credibility and accountability.
✔️ Incentives and financial frameworks – leveraging initiatives such as Green Claims and corporate sustainability reporting to drive real investment in carbon farming.
From Concept to Implementation: Overcoming Key Challenges
The summit continued with in-depth discussions on how to effectively integrate carbon farming into business models, land management strategies, and climate policies. Key takeaways from the sessions included:
Carbon farming as a profitable practice – aligning economic and environmental goals for long-term success.
CRCF business models – ensuring financial stability for farmers and investors.
Forest-based carbon removals – exploring nature-based solutions and identifying policy gaps.
Measuring and verifying soil carbon – addressing real-world challenges in MRV methodologies for the EU CRCF.
