This methodology quantifies the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions and soil organic carbon (SOC) removals resulting from the adoption of improved agricultural land management (ALM) practices. Such practices include, but are not limited to, reductions in fertilizer application and tillage, and improvements in water management,  residue management, cash crop and cover crop planting and harvest, and grazing practices.

Please note: this methodology is currently undergoing revision.
