Here are some key takeaways

  • Microbial amendments and feed additives are expanding the scope of agricultural carbon projects beyond conventional soil and fertiliser management.

  • Both approaches are underpinned by plausible biological mechanisms for climate impact, but there is limited evidence of consistent, measurable outcomes under real-world conditions.

  • Credibility will depend on robust measurement frameworks, cost-effective monitoring, and methods that can capture biological complexity at scale.
