Carbon credits that consider only trees planted does not embrace syntropic systems. Here we produce lots of carbon from shrubs (Mexican Sunflower, prunned 4x/year) and edible mid term species like bananeiras (prunned 1x/year). A lot more biomass on the ground than if we only planted the jackfruit seedling that you can see in the pic of the right.

So true! 

I think credits are going for low hanging fruit because it's easier to verify and quantify a tree. 

Maybe harder to verify and quantify the amount of carbon sequestered by more holistic systems?

What do you think, how would you quantify syntropic carbon sequestering in a way that can be verified and not gamed?

Thanks for the comment! We've been asking members to share their syntropic design plan, check if there are biomass species. Then we follow their seasonal updates and incentivize community visits. This way we can follow the growth of the systems and stewards closely.

Not yet, mostly working on building the community and getting folks to share a plan and updates. 

Would love to learn more about how to turn it into carbon credits.

Sounds pretty thorough!

Are you working to apply for turning this process into carbon credits?
