The Carbon Market makes it possible to pay people to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The agricultural carbon market refers to mechanisms available for working landowners that enable the financial sale of accumulated soil carbon found in soil organic matter. Over 140 million acres of U.S. farms currently have adopted some form of practices that lead to these healthy soils. These practices are commonly referred to as conservation or regenerative agriculture. At this time the vast majority of these acres that accumulate soil organic matter are not enrolled in a financial carbon market as the carbon marketing process is fairly new to the industry. . .
Forests, like agricultural practices, can be net emitters or net sequesterers of atmospheric greenhouse gases, depending upon management practices. “Blue carbon” is carbon sequestration by the world’s oceanic and coastal ecosystems, mostly by algae, seagrasses, macroalgae, mangroves, salt marshes and other plants in coastal wetlands. . .

Estimates indicate that global investments totaling $536 billion are needed for ecosystem protection and restoration projects each year. This figure far surpasses the $133 billion invested in 2021 — most of which came from public sources. Conservation finance is a tool that can help bridge this gap by attracting private capital and fostering collaboration to accelerate environmental outcomes. . .
