An effective policy mix for scaling up carbon farming
The document below is the second output from Credible’s Focus Group 2.3. It is a live document that will be improved thanks to everyone’s participation in this public consultation and the subsequent activities of the Focus Group. By sending your opinion on the matter, you can contribute to bringing valuable knowledge to the attention of the broader expert community and policymakers. This public consultation is monitored closely by the Expert Group on Carbon Removals that supports the Commission in its efforts to develop the Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming (CRCF) Regulation. We therefore invite all stakeholders and simple citizens to make your voice heard. It is the time to contribute to fair and transparent European policies, ones that can help the agricultural and forest sectors to stand out as an important solution to our current climate crisis.

Terminology coherence is important and a first step for the necessary step of MMRV coherence across private and public efforts. Our RFP with its cost-efficient and effective MRV already applied at scale serves to that cause. Co-efficients are a dangerous cause and can do more harm than good. Instead we must realize that the proxy and thus real-measuring technology is ready to date. Additionally, and agri-ets that targets the most concetrated parts of the agri-food supply in fusion with csrd and csdd should be assessed.
Measuring must return agency and motivation to farmers and heal the pains caused by years of practice-based incentivization. All public and private levers can work coherently and synergistically optimizing cost-effectiveness - only if they are underpinned by a shared data language and infrastructure (RFP KPIs).
Farmers need meaningful regulatory simplification, and the use of a harmonised data infrastructure will help to achieve this. This data will also inform performance-based incentives, financial and investment instruments, and tailored agronomic advice for farmers.
These combined factors will foster improved farmer livelihoods,bioeconomic productivity and ecosystem and human health. Using a harmonised data language (RFP KPIs) allows for a blended and stacked strategic approach to a complementary public-private transition framework co-enabling the regenerating full productivity of all farms in the EU.
