Continuum Carbon Services
It's all about Healthy Soil
Decades of industrial farming have taken its toll on farms across North America. The UNDRR estimates that about one-third of the world’s soils are moderately to highly degraded. Working with Continuum Carbon Services and adopting new regenerative land-management practices can have multiple benefits including:
-
Improved Soil Health: Implementing practices that sequester carbon, such as no-till farming and cover cropping, enhances soil quality and fertility. This can lead to better crop yields and more resilient farmland over time.
-
Additional Income Stream: Farmers can earn extra revenue by selling carbon credits generated through sustainable agricultural practices. This provides a new source of income alongside traditional crop or livestock sales.
-
Enhanced Farm Resilience: Sustainable practices promoted by Continuum Carbon Services can improve water retention and increase farm productivity, making farms more resilient to extreme weather events.
-
Reduced Input Costs: Some regenerative practices can lead to savings on diesel fuel, tractor usage, and tillage costs, making farming more efficient.
-
Access to Sustainable Markets: As more companies seek to offset their emissions, farmers participating in nature-based projects through Continuum Carbon Services may have better access to environmentally conscious commodity buyers and markets.
-
Environmental Stewardship: Reinvigorating soil by increasing carbon sequestration can contribute to restoration of the small water cycle and weather pattern stabilization.
-
Long-term Sustainability: By adopting practices that generate carbon credits, farmers invest in the long-term health and productivity of their land.
