'Carbon Credits are interesting for a farmer right now'

Every little bit helps, and the soil benefits, as has been said, but it doesn't contribute much. If all farmers in the Netherlands capture one and a half times as much carbon as they do now, they will capture 2 tons of CO2 per hectare (double what is mentioned as an example in the interview). This compensates for CO2 emissions for 360.000 Dutch people, the residents of the city of Utrecht (the average Dutch person produces 10 tons per year. After about 10 to 20 years, a new balance is created in the soil and the extra build-up stops. Agriculture can produce its own do not compensate for emissions, let alone contribute to the bigger picture. It's a pity, but unfortunately, it is agriculture, we do not manage a swamp where carbon was naturally stored, but a soil with a principle balance between construction and decomposition.
