Turning away from estimation protocols to direct measurement ensures offset quality, reduces risk, and results in a full accounting of greenhouse gas emissions typically lacking in farm projects, addressing the need to reduce the atmospheric burden of GHGs with economic, social, and planetary benefits

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Oct. 8, 2021 - PRLog -- Long before the urgent call to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs), Buckwheat Blossom Farm in Wiscasset, Maine, eliminated CO₂ emissions while farms typically account for about 10% of total US GHG emissions. The farm achieved this with horse-powered agriculture. Horse-power eliminates fossil fuel burning tractors for farming and forestry operations, minimizes tillage and preserves carefully managed pasture-based grazing systems. This back-to-the-future farm practice is not only cheaper than traditional farming but also appealing to the younger generation who wants to live sustainably. But how does Buckwheat Blossom participate in the carbon markets to reap rewards for its hard-earned emission reductions?
