CarbonLink as an aggregator
CarbonLink acts as an ‘aggregator’ to bring together packages of carbon from individual farmers and then has the carbon verified, to enable these farmers to trade their carbon in the marketplace. MoreThe CarbonLink abatement project is based on permanent storage of carbon in soil organic carbon (SOC), within recently adopted agricultural management practices in rural Australia.
To successfully sequester significant amounts of carbon on a consistent basis, farmers will need to be either using a high intensity grazing system such as cell grazing or pasture cropping. Traditional management methods such as continuous grazing and cultivation cropping sequester little if any carbon. These new management methods such as cell grazing and pasture cropping can increase SOC because of their focus on root development and production.
Pasture Cropping is a new approach to farming, whereby crops are planted directly into a perennial pasture. This means the land is functioning during summer with summer active grasses, and also functioning with a winter active annual cereal crop during the dormant phase of the pasture. With these practices, the soil is never bare, and the soil biology is actively converting organic matter into organic carbon. Pasture cropping is dependent on cell grazing techniques during the pasture phase of the annual cycle.
