Organic agriculture and carbon sequestration
This document discusses the opportunities and constrains of carbon accounting for organic agriculture management in developed and developing countries. The aim of this document is to describe the potential of organic agriculture to sequester carbon and to meet the requirements of carbon accounting systems, including factors such as carbon permanence, leakage and additionality. Furthermore, the document discusses the suitability of measurement and verification methodologies to agriculture systems, including an analysis of existing carbon accounting instruments in terms of their usability for organic agricultural management practices.
