The possibility of farmers to get paid for storing carbon in healthier soil has been emerging for several years, but now the subject is getting red hot.  Multiple parties and players are developing programs or policies to actually make this happen.  It’s still very early, which means a both a lot of buzz and a lot of confusion.  Come join in a conversation with a few farmers that have done their own hard homework, and one seasoned veteran of “ecosystem service” markets, to get a sense of what’s going on.  This conversation is unlikely to arrive at any firm conclusions, but will hopefully enlighten participants about the current lay of the land and where both possibilities and pitfalls may lie.
