Equipment maker AGCO is doing research to help farmers add soil carbon sequestration to their farming operations. The company says the carbon credit market is a potential farm revenue stream as well as being part of the climate change solution.
The company expects to see carbon-offset credit demand increase as companies such as Apple and BP work towards climate neutrality, according to Louisa Parker-Smith, sustainability director for AGCO.
The company’s research focuses on creating a path to the revenue potential of carbon sequestration through cover cropping and regenerative agriculture.
