Pythons and crocodiles would not stop Farmer entering the field for Carbon Credits

(Excuse the pun, but we could not avoid it).

October 12th, 2022 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, British Columbia - Dr. Jenny Farmer has been retained by Ventree Innovations to develop the carbon accreditation strategy at Priceless Farms in the White Nile basin in Uganda Africa. The Moringa and mixed harvest including lake weed from Lake Kyoga is the perfect crop for carbon sequestration in the agriculture sector to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

If enough carbon is sequestered, and emissions reduced, then the greenhouse effect will be reduced in the future, resulting in fewer warmer days as well as less occurrence of drought and other extreme weather cycles associated with climate change.

It is appropriate that this is tackelled in the central belt of Africa, on the equator where where Uganda is experiencing the effects of climate change which have turned the seasons around with the country experiencing shorter or longer rains and harsher droughts pushing up starvation and malnutrition amongst its people.

Dr Farmer, a subject matter expert who is instrumental in establishing the African Carbon exchange will be undertaking a five-stage plan over the next six months.

Adding canopy crops, such as the miracle tree Moringa, reducing tillage, and other practices can help benefit the soil and the bottom line of the farm. Priceless Farms are creating a strategy of increased soil carbon sequestration and reduced greenhouse gas emissions from these practices, result in registry-issued carbon credits, which are increasingly in demand by major corporations.

Aaron Elton Founding partner of Ventree Innovations and CEO of Priceless Farms explains… “There are two types of carbon markets that are driving demand today, compliance markets based on governmentally imposed limits on GHG emissions and the voluntary markets (e.g., corporate sustainability reporting).  Today, most carbon markets are voluntary, incentive-based markets where companies are linking buyers and sellers of carbon credits.  The sellers, typically farmers, are paid for generating carbon credits by adopting management practices that meet specific beneficial ecosystem criteria. Farmers like ourselves will be typically paid based on the amount of carbon sequestered, either on a per-acre basis or per ton of carbon sequestered”. 

Once the carbon credit is generated, it enters the market where buyers can purchase those credits to meet their sustainability goals (e.g., carbon neutral by 2040). 

Today, most transactions occur through a third-party entity (aggregator), which links sellers (farmers) to buyers (corporations) and Priceless Farms are delighted to have been selected by Thallo to be a founding partner of their exchange.

“As the demand for carbon credits intensifies, blockchain and crypto technology is uniquely positioned to help support market growth by solving persistent challenges around transparency, traceability and verification, and we are excited to be leading the challenge of developing these platforms at the farm level said Aaron”

Since carbon markets are still developing, price discovering is occurring, early pricing ranges in value, but $15-$50 per ton of carbon sequestered is common. However, the amount of carbon sequestered and practice(s) adopted will vary by individual farm.
