Carbon a GROWING issue
There is as yet no agreed way to calculate the
carbon foot print of a farm ..so how can
sensible policy be formulated ?
Currently the emissions are calculated by
identifying emission sources and multiplying by
national emission factors
Can the farmer be credited for the carbon
captured in the growing crop ?
But what should be included ?
Should the farmer get credit for the carbon
embedded in the products which leave the farm e.g
meat, milk, grain, vegetables etc.
