Ecosystem Services Market Consortium

ESMC is a member-based organization launching a national scale ecosystem services market program for agriculture.

[Ecosystem Services Market Consortium @MarketEcosystem]

Delta Conservation is a nonprofit that helps farmers manage new practice adoption risk through research, training, and market development. They partner with experts to develop best practices suited to the Delta ecosystem https://t.co/dXIeO3xjle.

We are pleased to welcome two new members to our organization this month - Delta Conservation - Regenerative Agriculture & Kansas State University Regen-Ag project. They join our membership of over 60 orgs https://t.co/TgdAuYOElU

[Ecosystem Services Market Consortium @MarketEcosystem]

Kansas State University’s Regen-Ag project works with farmers, researchers, policymakers, & consumers on sustainable & regenerative food systems - with experts across many spectrums. https://t.co/547QDo2ORz

The Soil Rush https://t.co/ALnoUCX4Ul published in Views on Agriculture, has ESMC's Debbie Reed interviewed along with other experts on how to ensure carbon markets actually work for ag. "This system needs to come into the 21st century and reduce some of the costs."

[Ecosystem Services Market Consortium @MarketEcosystem]

With a few years' experience designing, developing, & implementing Eco-Harvest projects, we developed a Producer Guide to Eco-Harvest program participation https://t.co/6lAO3fWtWE
We're excited to share with potential program participants & #regenerativeagriculture community.

Action and investments in climate change, water impacts, nature and biodiversity are inter-related and must continue jointly and not at the expense of one over another.

[Ecosystem Services Market Consortium @MarketEcosystem]

Highlighted in this month's newsletter https://t.co/gKzNptKdwE: Eco-Harvest is one of only two agricultural carbon programs to achieve 3rd party SustainCERT validation and verification for supply chain Impact Units for corporate buyers. https://t.co/SJy7WDY4dH

[Ecosystem Services Market Consortium @MarketEcosystem]

We are also hosting frank discussions on the ongoing challenges in supply chain collective action programming to ensure we are building integrated programming for not just climate but also water, land use & biodiversity.

[Ecosystem Services Market Consortium @MarketEcosystem]

We just completed validation and verification from @SustainCERT for Eco-Harvest Scope 3 project Impact Units. This process provides corporates certainty to claim soil carbon removals and GHG reductions for ag carbon projects. https://t.co/EAGBwGTzL6

[Ecosystem Services Market Consortium @MarketEcosystem]

These growers earned more than $140,000 in 2023 for reduced GHG emissions & increased soil carbon. With 2023 payments complete, and with 3rd party verified outcomes from @Sustain_CERT, these results provide a roadmap to scale future ag carbon projects. https://t.co/vTtgtQzdbh

[Ecosystem Services Market Consortium @MarketEcosystem]

Our partners are our biggest asset in successfully designing, developing, and implementing Eco-Harvest projects. Thank you @NutrienAgRetail & @Syngenta for partnering with us to conduct pilot projects with corn & soybean growers in the Midwest using #regenerativeagriculture.

2023: A Year of Trailblazing Achievements for ESMC and Eco-Harvest - see our year in review https://t.co/IVxtZBoQDl.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and looking forward to a full and eventful 2024.

[Ecosystem Services Market Consortium @MarketEcosystem]

Eco-Harvest has earned @AgDataTE (ADT) certification - this highlights that data collected on the farm through Eco-Harvest is protected and used to benefit producers. Read the full announcement https://t.co/v0Y1joegY5 and learn more about ADT https://t.co/ARGYHHwxAC

As part of the #WorldSoilDay focus on the importance of healthy soil and advocating for the sustainable management of soil resources, we are pleased to release a series of five new research reports - all of which are available as summaries and full reports https://t.co/HK4Ma6Kyvr

[Ecosystem Services Market Consortium @MarketEcosystem]

We're partnering with @HabiTerre to provide modeling services to our Eco-Harvest market program. This partnership will allow us to further improve accuracy and value creation for farmers and ranchers, while reducing barriers to scale. Announced today - https://t.co/x0IL5KBsM9

[Ecosystem Services Market Consortium @MarketEcosystem]

We just released 2 reports analyzing supply and demand for ecosystem services in the Western Range. These highlight the immense potential of conservation practices and regenerative ag in this semi-arid region and estimate beneficial environmental impacts https://t.co/hzXv5bhlb0

[Ecosystem Services Market Consortium @MarketEcosystem]

We are honored to be working with @FarmJFoundation @IACupdate and @TheYieldLab_I on this project and look forward to sharing accomplishments and lessons learned.

[Farm Journal Foundation @FarmJFoundation]

Today, we are launching a new climate-smart grazing program for Native American cattle farmers, in partnership with @IACupdate, @MarketEcosystem, and @TheYieldLab_I.
