Amendment 51 #
Draft opinion

3. Stresses the need for Member States to establish financially attractive incentives at the level of land managers, especially farmers and foresters, to accelerate the uptake of carbon farming;
Amendment 57 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3 a (new)
Paragraph 3 a (new)
3 a. Highlights that healthy or restored soils have a lower carbon sequestration capacity than degraded soils and thus the carbon farming model should provide results-based incentives as well as attractive rewards for maintaining the soil carbon content through appropriate practices
Amendment 67 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Recalls the fact that carbon farming practices provide additional environmental co-benefits, such as increased soil quality, health and fertility, higher soil water holding capacity, restoration of degraded soils, improved biodiversity, enhanced ecosystem services and the increased resilience of EU agriculture;
Amendment 86 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5 a. Reminds that there are over 300 different soil types in various health states across the EU, which are subjected to different limiting factors for carbon sequestration and consequently, soil carbon uptake research must be stimulated and financed, for example through LIFE and Horizon Europe programs
Amendment 96 #

Amendment 244 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9
Paragraph 9
9. Considers that carbon farming can be a new business model which should be additional and voluntary, and which aims to upscale climate mitigation by payfinancially rewarding farmers to implement climate-friendly farm or forest management practices, by tapping into the potential of blue carbon ecosystems and by streamlining the industrial use of carbon sequestered for different purposes; stresses that the financial incentives should come from public and private sources and the new business models should be voluntary and financially attractive for farmers and forest owners;

Amendment 282 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10 a (new)
Paragraph 10 a (new)
10a. Highlights that healthy or restored soils have a lower carbon sequestration potential than degraded soils and thus the carbon farming model should provide results-based incentives as well as attractive rewards for maintaining the soil carbon content through appropriate practices;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12 a (new)
Paragraph 12 a (new)
12a. Encourages the Commission as well as public and private initiatives to raise awareness on the valuable co- benefits that carbon farming practices can provide such as increased soil quality, health and fertility, higher soil water holding capacity, restoration of degraded soils, improved biodiversity, enhanced ecosystem services and the overall contribution to increased resilience of EU agriculture and forestry;
Amendment 388 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15
Paragraph 15
15. Underlines that the new certification framework for carbon farming should be as simple as possible in its design and not result in disproportionate administrative burdens for land and forestry managers and owners; emphasises that the future Union certification framework will need to take into account already existing national initiatives on EU territory with the same objective;
Amendment 409 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Emphasises the need to develop a robust new framework based on transparent measurement, monitoring, reporting and verification rules for the quantification and certification of carbon removals that must at the same time avoidconcomitantly prevent greenwashing and carbon leakage; underlines the need to promote high- quality carbon certificates that can ensure the achievement of the criteria of additionality, permanence, no double counting and authenticity in order to incentivise improved land management practices, thus resulting in enhanced carbon capture;
Amendment 418 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 a (new)
Paragraph 16 a (new)
16a. Reminds that a successful implementation of carbon farming depends on a holistic management of all pools of carbon in soils, materials and vegetation, integrating the fluxes of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide for both land and livestock;
Amendment 451 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 17
Paragraph 17
17. Stresses that carbon farming should be market-based and financed by public and/or private funds; calls on the Commission to create a genuinely new business model financially attractive for farmers and foresters; notes that financing from the value chain or through the creation of a voluntary carbon market is possible; stresses that the CAP is not a viable source of funding, as the CAP is not a business model;
