Carbon Farming Task Force

The Carbon Farming Task Force was created to develop policy ข้อเสนอแนะ for promoting agricultural practices in Hawaii that sequester carbon in soils and vegetation, helping the state meet its climate goals while supporting farmer viability. It examined carbon credit market opportunities, soil health practices, agroforestry, and how Hawaii farmers can access payment-for-ecosystem-services programs. Its ข้อเสนอแนะ target both agricultural sustainability and Hawaii's statutory 2045 clean energy and emissions goals.

Hawaii farmers and ranchers who adopt soil-building and carbon-sequestering practices could access new revenue streams based on this task force's ข้อเสนอแนะ. All residents benefit from agricultural land use that contributes to climate resilience and reduced emissions.
