Carbon Credits: A Smart and Sustainable Investment for Farmers
Carbon farming offers several benefits for farms by improving soil health and increasing resilience to climate change. Through practices like cover cropping and no-till farming, farmers can sequester carbon in the soil, which not only helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also enhances soil fertility and water retention.
These practices can lead to improved crop yields, lower input costs, and potential financial incentives through carbon credits, making carbon farming both an environmental and economic advantage for farmers.
