Soil carbon and carbon farming tenders
Soil carbon and carbon farming tenders come from agriculture ministries, land agencies, highway and infrastructure owners and development programmes. They commission studies of how farming practices, land management or construction methods change the carbon stored in soils, pilots of carbon farming schemes that pay farmers for sequestration, and the monitoring frameworks those schemes need. In the European Union, the carbon removals and carbon farming certification framework is adding to this demand.
The common thread is measurement. Soil carbon changes slowly and varies across short distances, so buyers want sampling designs, modelling and remote sensing that together give a defensible estimate, and they want it at a cost a farm-level scheme can bear. Notices often combine technical work with training for advisers or farmers and with policy advice on payment design.

Frequently asked
What is carbon farming?
Farming and land management practices that increase the carbon stored in soils and vegetation, or reduce emissions, often paid for through public schemes or carbon markets.
Who tenders soil carbon work?
Agriculture and environment ministries, land and infrastructure agencies, research funders and development programmes, mainly for studies, pilots and monitoring frameworks.
Why does carbon sequestration bring in other topics?
The term is used for forests, coastal ecosystems and soils alike, so some listings here overlap with the reforestation and blue carbon pages.
