The technical meeting organized by Coldiretti Rovigo, titled " Carbon Credits in Agriculture ," was held on Wednesday, March 4th. The room was packed, a sign of the association's strong interest in the topic. This new opportunity was presented, both on the one hand, and on the other, it could represent fertile ground for less concrete and unfounded proposals from entities entering this new market.
Agriculture can actively participate in the so-called "emissions market" through carbon credit trading . These credits are economic and environmental instruments, in the form of certificates, that can be traded through a European Union "emissions market" known as the EU Emissions Trading System. Agriculture could then exchange credits with those who need to offset emissions.
For the occasion, after greetings and an introduction by Coldiretti Rovigo director Gerardo Forina Rampolla , who explained that the meeting was based on the association's desire to provide a foundation for understanding this opportunity, which isn't science fiction, but rather a potential added value for businesses.
Marco Omodei Salè of CSQA , Gianni Rossi, technical area manager of Impresa Verde Rovigo, and Lorenzo Furlan of Veneto Agricoltura then presented their findings. They explained the origins of carbon credits, their commitments, and their collateral effects, drawing on years of research, bibliography, monitoring, and analysis conducted by Veneto Agricoltura in collaboration with CSQA in experimental fields.
