Agrecalc’s Head of Science, Dr Rachael Ramsey explores how carbon insetting holds immense potential, particularly in the context of reducing emissions from the agri-food sector.

The article from Agrecalc discusses the concept of carbon insetting as a strategy for promoting sustainable agriculture. Unlike carbon offsetting, which involves compensating for emissions by investing in external projects, carbon insetting focuses on reducing emissions within the agricultural supply chain itself. This approach encourages farmers and agribusinesses to adopt practices that enhance carbon sequestration, improve soil health, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions directly on their farms. By integrating carbon insetting into their operations, agricultural stakeholders can not only mitigate climate change but also enhance productivity, long-term profitability, resilience, and sustainability.
