Cash for carbon on UK arable farms

The article discusses a new carbon payment scheme for UK arable farmers, led by Soil Capital. Farmers are compensated for building carbon in soils and reducing emissions. The program spans 16 years, with financial incentives based on carbon certificates. These certificates are purchased by companies to support regenerative farming, with a minimum payment of £23 per tonne of CO2 equivalent. Though the initial returns are modest, future carbon prices are expected to rise, making the program more attractive over time.
