We’re excited to invite you to an in-depth webinar on the New York Carbon Farming Act (A05660A / S01529A) — a groundbreaking piece of climate and agricultural legislation that could fundamentally transform how carbon farming (i.e. soil organic carbon, biochar, enhanced weathering) works and is supported in New York State.

Nearly a quarter of New York’s land base is farmland, yet farmers still face steep economic and regulatory barriers to adopting carbon farming practices at scale. This bill aims to change that by creating a science-based carbon farming certification framework and two major market incentives:

• A performance-based carbon farming tax credit for farmers, and

• An investment tax credit for on-farm carbon practices and infrastructure.

If enacted this legislative session, this law could help unlock a statewide carbon farming economy — opening new revenue pathways for farmers, catalyzing supply chain development for carbon practices (like soil amendments, biochar, and enhanced rock weathering), and positioning New York as a national leader in agricultural carbon removal.

What We’ll Cover

In this session, our speakers will break down:
✔ The policy: what’s in the bill and why it matters
✔ The current political factors in Albany influencing the bill’s forward progress
✔ How organizations, farmers, and everyday citizens can engage in the advocacy underway to help make this law a reality this session

Who’s Speaking

We’re thrilled to host:
• Sean Trambley, US Biochar Coalition
• Chris Neidl, 4 Corners Carbon Coalition
…and additional experts.

Why You Should Join

Whether you’re a farmer, climate advocate, policymaker, land manager, or just passionate about scaling solutions for climate and agriculture, this conversation will give you the context and tools to understand how this bill could unlock carbon markets — and how you can be part of driving it forward.
