An effective policy mix for scaling up carbon farming.
The document below is the initial output from Credible's Focus Group 2.3 and the session held during the first European Carbon Farming Summit. It is a live document that will be improved thanks to everyone's participation in this public consultation and the subsequent activities of the Focus Group. By sending your opinion on the matter, you can contribute to bring valuable knowledge to the attention of the broader expert community and policy makers. We therefore invite all stakeholders and simple citizens to make your voice heard. It is the time to contribute to fair and transparent European policies, ones that can help the agricultural and forest sectors to stand out as an important solution to our current climate crisis.

Overall, this report describes the policy challenges of carbon farming in the EU very well. Most recommendations are good. I would like to raise one issue though: it is suggested that “A hybrid activity-result approach may be able to harness the strengths and avoid the pitfalls of both individual setups” (recommendation 6). It is not at all obvious that this would be a successful way forward for solving the problems with the activity and results approaches. This should be analysed in more detail before being recommended as a solution.
