Farming system evolved under the influence of the local climate.
Because soil carbon stocks are built up through specific farming practices (for example by applying organic matter, managing crop residues, reducing tillage etc.), and their impact depends on the local soil and climate characteristics, it makes sense to develop a vision for carbon farming which is regionalised.

Fit-for-region carbon farming means to develop schemes and promote practices that are relevant for the regional context.
Toward the realization of this vision, the Credible consortium is creating a stakeholder-engagement and knowledge-sharing platform. Its main objective is to provide scheme developers with geographically arranged guidelines and support. The information will be organised around three thematic areas:
