Establishing a forum dedicated to carbon farming Research and Innovation (R&I) within the CARBONICA platform represents a significant initiative to foster collaboration, knowledge sharing, and community building across various regions and expertise.
This forum is envisioned as an online space that gathers experts from all three Widening Countries (Cyprus, Greece, and North Macedonia) to pool their knowledge, experiences, and insights regarding carbon farming. It transcends geographical boundaries, encouraging participation from local experts and diaspora communities, fostering a diverse and global perspective on the subject.
At its core, this space is inclusive and inviting, welcoming project partners, stakeholders (such as farmers, researchers, policymakers, and environmentalists), and individuals enthusiastic about contributing to climate-resilient agriculture and carbon farming innovations.
MRV structure and definition
For farmers adopting carbon farming practices, establishing baseline measurements is the foundation of carbon credit generation. These measurements track soil carbon sequestration and ensure accurate credit valuation.
Although, different carbon programs may have varying protocols, the MRV process follows four essential steps:
- Baseline Assessment: Initial evaluation of soil carbon levels and current farming practices informs project planning.
- Modeling & Quantification: Scientific models analyze carbon metrics and relevant data to establish baselines and track progress.
- Reporting: Regular monitoring documents project conditions, progress, and impacts.
- Verification: Independent third-party verification ensures result reliability, building trust among stakeholders.
