An Invitation from the Carbon Coalition (Modified from original letter)

Hello,

One way or another, the world will soon be paying farmers to grow healthier vegetation in healthier soil... to capture carbon and to feed more people using less water. The US Government, the World Bank, the European Commission and the UN FAO have all made major commitments to increasing soil carbon in recent days. It is no longer a case of whether, it's a matter of when.

Who will farmers turn to for information and help? That's why we have published the world's first Carbon Farming Handbook. And why we are inviting like-minded companies to partner with us in bringing this information to the growing numbers of Carbon Farmers.

The proceeds of the sale of the Carbon Farming Handbook go towards funding the Carbon Coalition which has been campaigning full time over the past 3 years for "Soil Carbon Rights"for growers. The Convenors of the Coalition are woolgrowers from Central Western NSW and the coalition is a community of like-minded growers,agronomists, scientists or extension officers.
