Agricultural Carbon Offsets

Update:

An important change has come to Alberta’s carbon offset system. Farmers must have their quarters registered with an aggregation company prior to May 1st of a given year or they will not be able to claim credits for that year for the Conservation Cropping protocol, the main offset of use to farmers currently.
