Carbon Markets: Management Questions to Get You Started with John Westra

John Westra is a professor and program leader in the Department of Agricultural Economics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.  Reducing carbon emissions has become a central focus in addressing environmental and sustainability goals for governments and many private sector industries. That means agriculture producers and landowners may have decisions to make if they are approached about carbon payment plans or carbon markets. This raises many new questions for farmers and ranchers who should consider how practices associated with generating carbon credits will impact their operation.
