Solutions and insights for agricultural monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) from three consecutive issuances of soil carbon credits Open
Regenerative agricultural practice adoption on conventionally managed fields has gained momentum as a climate mitigation strategy, given the ability of these practices to sequester carbon or reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, the ge…

Validating DayCent-CR for cropland soil carbon offset reporting at a national scale Open
Regenerative soil management practices have been shown to increase soil organic carbon in cropland previously under conventional management, and farmers that adopt regenerative practices could be eligible to participate in carbon offset pr…
