Barriers and incentives for sharing input-data needed in carbon farming and MRV systems in Europe
The document below is the second output from Credible’s Focus Group 3.1. 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.

The principals in the recommendations are right. The main concern stays to keep cost to farmers low and make sure most of the proceeds reach the farmers improving the biology in their soils while reducing the administrative burden on farmers. Combination of high quality soil sampling and satellite data can resolve many of the issues as shown at the soil health now! conference of opengeohub. Also important to keep in mind that healthy soils increase biodiversity, clean water, improve nutrient density of food grown in it and are a great buffer/preventer of forest fires and desertification. And is directly linked to the amount of photosynthesis happening on that soil and how much it is covered which is the essence of the EARA policy proposal for simplifying agricultural subsidies and rewarding farmers for good land stewardship with highly reduced bureaucracy.
