As we are
progressing towards modernization, environmental concerns are increasing. Every
country is developing its infrastructure without realizing that it’s happening
at the cost of our ecosystem. That’s why you can see Protocols and Summits
happening across the world, with the most recent and famous ones being the
Durban Summit and the Kyoto Protocol. These days, people are working out new
initiatives that can minimize the impacts of human activities on the Earth and
maximize the restoration of ecological elements. One such initiative is the carbon farming initiative.
Carbon farming
involves a method of farming that reduces the content of greenhouse gases in
the atmosphere. Also, efforts are made to capture carbon in the soil to prevent
it from causing adverse effects on the climate. Carbon farming is undertaken by
farmers to earn carbon credits. It’s a new and innovative concept which allows
people to trade carbons just like people trade commodities.
On a large
level, when a nation surpasses its capacity of emitting carbon, it can purchase
carbon credits from another nation that has excess of carbon credits remaining.
The trading is done in environmental markets and it is estimated that the process of carbon trading will grow to such an extent that these markets will
be as huge as our stock markets! You too can benefit from carbon credits if
you’ve a land where you can cultivate crops that capture carbon. Every ton of
carbon sells for an estimated $40-50. If you’ve a farm, you can start sowing
the seeds for a profitable tomorrow.
