On Thursday, October 16, at 11:00 am ET, Verra and Perennial (external) will be hosting a webinar to provide an overview of the new digital soil mapping (DSM) tool in the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program.

The tool, VT0014 Estimating Organic Carbon Stocks Using Digital Soil Mapping, v1.0, was released in August and facilitates the robust and verifiable quantification of greenhouse gas emission reductions and carbon dioxide removals in agricultural land management (ALM) carbon projects. It is based on up-to-date science and novel technologies, such as remote sensing, and enables ALM projects to generate high-integrity carbon credits cost-effectively and at scale.

The tool is currently approved for use under VM0042 Methodology for Improved Agricultural Land Management and VM0032 Methodology for the Adoption of Sustainable Grasslands through Adjustment of Fire and Grazing.
