CARBON FARMING

What is Carbon Farming?

Carbon Farming is using sustainable agriculture and land management practices that remove carbon from the atmosphere at a higher rate than conventional practices. This carbon is then able to be restored to its natural place - in soil organic matter and plant material. Agriculture is responsible for 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, making it one of the most important sectors to address.

Our Farm is a Living Laboratory

Caney Fork Farms studies how planned grazing of dense livestock herds work in conjunction with grassland and agroforestry ecology. Over time, our organic farm in Tennessee is measuring results and looking deeply into soil carbon and improvements to our ecosystem. Lush grasses and clovers provide a year-round supply of nutrient-dense forage for livestock. While overhead, a steadily maturing tree canopy will provide cooling shade, diverse seasonal forage and wind breaking shelter.
