A Deep Dive into Carbon Markets

March 3, 2023 - With increased trading of carbon credits in the “Ecosystem Marketplace,” ranchers throughout the countryside are questioning the risks and rewards associated with entering a carbon credit contract. 

During a recent panel discussion co-hosted by Good Grazing Makes Cent$ and the Ranchers Stewardship Alliance at the annual Society for Range Management meeting,  all angles of the carbon markets were interactively discussed.

From ecological perspectives in terms of soil/land health and potential economic opportunities to contracts, management, and the big picture, the total discussion was nearly three hours.
