Carbon farming, Result-based schemes and NIVA indicators
Résumé
The NIVA project provided an opportunity to develop several environmental indicators aimed at measuring the impact of agricultural practices on the environment. They focus on carbon storage in soils, the risk of nitrate leaching and the impact on biodiversity.
The objective of this policy brief is to present the carbon storage indicator in connection with carbon farming and result-based scheme perspectives.
It turns out that the last day of the NIVA project (30 November 2022) is also the day on which the Commission published its proposal for carbon farming regulatory framework (see below the paragraph titled “European legislation on carbon farming”). This is obviously a coincidence, but this one is mentioned just to highlights the importance of this issue.
