Carbon Offset Credit Analysis for Cover Cropping Practices

Carbon credits propose a financial benefit to implementing cover crops in a changing climate. Carbon credit verifiers use differing methods to determine the amount of carbon a farm has and comparison of their estimates against 10 years of data for soil carbon sequestration in a given land parcel determines the accuracy of their measuring methods. Comparing the financial reward for sequestered carbon across multiple companies determines the optimum platform for carbon credit trading.
