Summary/Abstract
This background document supported the Carbon Farming Schemes in Europe Roundtable that took place on October 9th, 2019, which informed the further exploration of carbon farming scheme options in Europe. The Roundtable brought together policy, scientific and legal experts with knowledge of assessments and implementation of climate mitigation actions in agriculture and carbon farming schemes in Europe. This took place through thematic case studies conducted within the frame of the Carbon Farming study between autumn 2019 and spring 2020. Ultimately, the work will result in guidance on operationalising result-based carbon farming schemes with the aim of facilitating their widespread uptake in Europe.
