“Carbon accounting can be difficult and overwhelming, that’s why I’m excited to share what I know with growers,” said Miguel Garcia, PhD, Sustainable Ag Program Manager for the Napa Resource Conservation District (RCD). “I strive to help growers develop carbon farm plans using quantification methodologies that fit their needs. If carbon planning is your goal, this webinar is for you.”
“New technology is now available that can help growers quantify soil carbon and monitor carbon emissions and soil carbon sequestration,” said Adam Koeppel, Co-Founder and CEO of Agrology. “I’m excited to have Miguel join me as we discuss the various methods and provide valuable take-away information that growers can use.”
The webinar agenda includes:
The fundamental importance of soil carbon measurement and carbon management including the strengths and limitations of soil testing, remote sensing, greenhouse gas flux analysis, and ground-truthing.
A review of different methods including soil testing, modeling, remote sensing, Eddy covariance towers, and soil chambers.
How these measurement technologies can be effectively integrated into broader carbon planning and ESG programs.
How to use various carbon quantification methods to evaluate the performance and impact of regenerative practices.
How to apply accurate and precise carbon data to inform carbon offset strategies, support climate-related reporting, and enhance sustainability practices.
Specific help with individual carbon plans.
