A diverse group of 62 organizations is building a national infrastructure program for and around carbon markets through its public-private partnership in the Ecosystems Services Market Consortium.

Jason Weller, Vice President of Truterra at Land O’Lakes, testified in late June to the Senate committee on agriculture, nutrition and forestry regarding The Growing Climate Solutions Act.
“Over time, our vision is to expand the carbon program to include partnerships across the value chain and into other industries that have interest in the carbon economy,” said Chuck Magro.
The goal of the pilot is to explore the scalability of an ecosystem services marketplace and provide farmers a view for what they could gain in a carbon market.
The factors are converging to make this coming year a springboard for how agriculture is involved in carbon sequestration and climate policies.
