COMET-Farm™ is a powerful online tool aimed at harnessing the potential of agriculture to combat climate change. Developed by the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in collaboration with Colorado State University, COMET-Farm™ allows farmers to assess how conservation practices can enhance soil health and capture carbon from the atmosphere. By entering data about their land and management practices, farmers can estimate the environmental benefits of various conservation methods, including cropland management, pasture utilization, and livestock operations. The tool helps farmers understand the value of carbon credits they could earn through conservation practices, potentially opening up new revenue streams. With environmental markets on the rise, COMET-Farm™ serves as a bridge between agricultural sustainability and profitability. Available for use across the contiguous United States, this tool represents a significant step forward in leveraging agriculture as a solution to climate change.
