International review of MRV (Monitoring Review & Verification) initiatives for soil carbon stock change released. "ISRIC – World Soil Information is part of the European Commission-supported ORCaSA project, led by INRAE (France), to establish an International Research Consortium (IRC) on Soil Carbon with a Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) that will not only consider agricultural soils, but also forests, pastures, wetlands and public spaces so that the chances to capture and store carbon are maximized. "
An interesting reflection on the soil carbon focus in climate change governance, and its limitations, from the Soil Carbon Coalition
"Results (in UK) indicate farmers' adoption of practices does not necessarily translate into a willingness to adopt additional practices and/or an ability to engage with the carbon market. Moreover, there is, currently, a gap between farmers' expectations and market demands, as articulated by carbon standards"..and outlines "how a temporary relaxation of carbon code rules could facilitate early and subsequent entrants’ engagement with the market"
Soil Carbon Credits Opportunities and Challenges. "Soil carbon credit, has begun to gain traction particularly in the US and Australia, yet several challenges impede the take-off of such projects globally".

UK Farm Soil Carbon Code "The Code will be straightforward, practical, free to use and open access to all farmers. It will be applicable for different ‘carbon accounting’ purposes – offsets, insets, ecosystem services and environmental investment products - whether carbon capture will be monetised or not. "
