Carbon pricing
Carbon pricing aims to reduce emissions by accounting for the costs of pollution in daily decisions, thus incentivizing decisions that lower emissions. However, when farmers lack energy alternatives and appropriate infrastructure, the carbon price creates a financial burden on farmers that pulls away critical working capital without a corresponding reduction of emissions. Farmers need targeted carbon pricing exemptions to free up capital to make sustainability investments in their operations.
