How Regenerative Agriculture Creates Carbon Credits

In this episode of Climate Economics, Lucas and Luna explore the emerging market for carbon credits generated by regenerative agriculture. They focus on the specific case of Indigo Agriculture, a company that has developed a system for verifying and selling carbon credits from improved soil management practices. Lucas explains the scientific basis for soil carbon sequestration, the challenges of measurement and verification, and the economic incentives for farmers to change their practices. Luna raises questions about the integrity of these credits and whether corporate buyers are using them effectively. The conversation also touches on the role of the USDA and new federal guidelines in standardizing the market. Listeners will come away with a concrete understanding of how a farm in Iowa can generate a verifiable carbon credit and what that means for climate policy. #RegenerativeAgriculture #CarbonCredits #SoilCarbon #IndigoAgriculture #ClimateEconomics #CarbonMarket #Agriculture #Sustainability #ClimatePolicy #USDA #CarbonSequestration #Farmers #Economics #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Podcast #Climate #GreenPolicy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
