Carbon Farm Planning & Implementation
The Carbon Farm Plan works to help this vineyard increase the amount of photosynthetically captured carbon sequestered in long-term carbon pools on the farm or ranch, such as soil or plants. This vineyard set out to use measures such as mulching with compost, integration of livestock for weed control and soil-beneficial grazing, hedgerow and tree planting, and switching from fuel-burning to electric farm equipment.
