Can previously degraded Rangeland qualify for carbon credits?
If a producer has land that has been deemed “previously degraded” then that land is eligible for carbon credits. In order to qualify, it must be proved that the land was degraded as January 1,1999. Degraded status can be proven by photographs or reports by a third party like the NRCS, US Fish and Wildlife, grazing association, etc. The idea of receiving carbon credits from previously degraded land is that the land is improved from an unhealthy state to a healthy state in which the land is capable of holding more CO2.
