Agricultural Soil Carbon in the Palouse Region: Developing a Large-scale Agricultural Soil Carbon Transaction in the Palouse Region

The project seeks to develop a large-scale agricultural carbon project on Shepherd’s Grain and surrounding land in partnership with landowners in the Palouse region, and to provide a roadmap for developing large-scale, high quality, and low cost carbon transactions. The introduction of sustainable, low-carbon farming practices have the potential to restore the fertility. This project will demonstrate both the importance of large-scale low-carbon practices to GHG reductions policies and the role of quantitative soil carbon methodologies in creating compliance–grade off set credits.
