The 1st European Carbon Farming Summit took place in March 2024 in Valencia, Spain, and successfully gathered over six hundred participants, predominantly from the many organisations involved in identifying practices and developing monitoring methods, and engaged in the design of certification activities.
Several outcomes were already delivered, but this was only a first step. Under the Credible project, two other summits are to come, in 2025 and 2026. The second summit will take place in Dublin, Ireland, from 4–6 March 2025, and for this summit, we aim to be truly multi-stakeholder. We want to hear the voices of the farmers and businesses who have a critical role to play in the implementation of carbon farming practices and associated certificates.
The feedback received after the first summit is that the second summit needs to focus more on the practicalities of carbon farming: how to access information on practices, what benefits are expected and in which time frame (in both economic and environmental terms), how to access certificates, and who could purchase these certificates and under which conditions.
In addition, building on the results of the first summit, we wish to further explore how carbon farming can be a tool for transformation in the field of agriculture, but also for forestry and peatland rewetting.
We also intend to support the development of the EU CRCF by collecting feedback on the early drafts of the certification methodologies for agriculture, forestry, and peatland rewetting that will be available, and provide suggestions to the work of the Commission’s Expert Group on Carbon Removals.
We foresee that, given the expected increased participation by stakeholders, the second summit will host several sessions led by Credible’s Focus Groups, as well as external organisations, which will be instrumental in answering key questions, providing recommendations, and achieving the identified objectives.
Building on the current momentum on carbon farming in Europe and beyond, and on the outcomes of the first summit, the main goals of the second summit are as follows:
- Operationalising carbon farming: concrete solutions that raise interest and mobilise stakeholders, both from the demand and supply side of carbon claims;
- Promoting carbon farming as a tool for transformation: sustainability requirements and indicators to move beyond carbon and foster resilient food systems;
- Enabling multi-actor dialogues: build momentum and trust among farmers, scientists, policymakers, civil society and industry;
- Supporting the Carbon Removal Certification Framework: standards, methodologies and monitoring tools to favour a conducive policy environment.
