Description

The Alberta Offset System includes a number of protocols agricultural producers can follow in order to earn carbon offsets from documented improvements to practice changes. This information sheet describes three studies which were undertaken to better understand the opportunities for maximizing carbon offsets in on-farm operations. The three protocols studied were the Conservation Cropping Protocol, the Reducing Days on Feed for Beef Cattle Protocol, and the The Nitrous Oxide Emission Reduction Protocol. Study results identified barriers, gaps and options needed to support adoption of these protocols.
