The 2nd Carbon Farming Summit is in full swing, setting new benchmarks for the future of regenerative agriculture and CO₂ removal. Experts from politics, business, and agriculture have gathered in Dublin to discuss the latest advancements in carbon farming and its role in achieving climate targets.
A Strong Opening: Policy Meets Practice
The event was opened by Martin Heydon, Ireland’s Minister for Agriculture, Food, and the Marine, who highlighted the critical role of carbon sequestration in farming. This was followed by an insightful plenary session featuring Christian Holzleitner (Head of Unit, DG Clima). His keynote, reinforced by striking visuals, illustrated the challenges and opportunities carbon farming presents. His key takeaways:
✅ Establishing an EU-wide carbon farming market to provide long-term security for farmers and businesses.✅ Developing strong certification and MRV (Measurement, Reporting, Verification) methodologies to ensure transparency and trust in carbon credits.✅ Leveraging financial incentives such as Green Claims and Corporate Sustainability Reporting to drive investments into sustainable farming.
Challenges and Solutions in Carbon Farming
The first day of the summit was filled with deep discussions on how to make carbon farming both practical and profitable. Key sessions addressed:
Ensuring profitability in carbon farming – How can farmers benefit long-term? CRCF business models – How can economic and ecological interests align? The role of forests in carbon removal – What challenges and opportunities exist in afforestation? Measuring and reducing N₂O emissions – What incentives are needed to effectively reduce agricultural emissions?
enviro.marketing: Communication as the Key to Transformation
