Carbon Farming Mitigation Potential: Evaluating the mitigation potential (and uncertainties) of carbon farming practices

Deliverable 4.1, identifies and evaluates the mitigation potential and uncertainties of carbon farming (CF) practices across five key agricultural systems: woody crops, peatlands, arable lands, grasslands and agroforestry. Its goal is to assess these systems' capacities for carbon sequestration, reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and broader environmental benefits. This work aligns with the aim of MARVIC to develop context-specific, harmonised Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) systems for CF, supporting EU Mission Soil objectives and the Carbon Removal and Carbon Farming Certification Regulation Framework (CRCF). This document is intended for policymakers, researchers and agricultural stakeholders involved in carbon farming and land-use planning at regional, national, and European levels. Its relevance extends to environmental agencies, agricultural cooperatives, and research institutions focusing on climate change mitigation and sustainable agriculture.
