市场介绍
截至2024年,农业碳信用额度约占农业、林业和其他土地利用(AFOLU)市场2.16亿吨二氧化碳当量中的1亿吨二氧化碳当量,平均价格为4-6美元/吨二氧化碳当量,比林业溢价低近15%。大型食品和农业综合相关企业(例如拜耳旗下的ForGround、Indigo Ag和Nutrien)已在北美和欧洲招募了3000多家生产商,并正在使用基于卫星的监测、报告和检验(MRV)工具来简化计划检验。儘管势头强劲,但由于方法论的碎片化以及投资者对永久性和额外性的谨慎,信用额度仍然受到限制,农业在AFOLU总发行量中的份额仍约为30%。
未来十年,在欧盟自愿性CRCF认证以及美国根据《通膨削减法案》预期推出的「碳农业」奖励等强劲政策驱动下,预计到2035年,农业信贷的年度发放量将翻一番,达到2亿吨二氧化碳当量以上。数位化MRV发展(例如基于无人机的土壤碳测绘、基于区块链的註册系统以及基于人工智慧的排放模型)预计将计划开发成本降低20-30%,并鼓励小农户和特色作物生产者的参与。同时,快速消费品、零售、金融服务和其他公司已准备好将农场信贷纳入综合保护组合。
对产业的影响
蓬勃发展的碳信用市场正迫使相关企业企业集团和投入品供应商重新调整其投资组合。科迪华农业科技和 Nutrien 等领先的种子和肥料製造商目前正在将大量研发预算分配给符合土壤碳通讯协定的碳智慧产品(例如,犁地种子披衣、营养高效接种剂)。这种转变不仅开闢了新的服务线,还使农民能够从种子包衣和微生物生物刺激素中每公顷获得 15-25 美元的预付款,从而对冲收益流免受商品价格波动的影响。作为回应,私募股权基金正在企业联合组织交易,将土壤碳实践与精密农业感测器捆绑在一起,承保「设备即服务」合同,以同时提供农业和碳成果。
农场营运正在系统地重新设计,以优化碳封存并实现产量目标。约翰迪尔和爱科等设备OEM正在推出支援遥测的带式施肥机和高地隙气播设备,可减少高达 80% 的土壤扰动。这些机器直接与碳量化平台(例如 Carbonview 专案)集成,可自动向检验记录减少耕作路径和残留物覆盖度的指标。透过将碳信用合格作为原生功能,营运商可以简化第三方审核,将检验时间从 90 天缩短至 30 天以内,每英亩增加 10-15 美元的收益,并有效降低精密设备的盈亏平衡成本 8-12%。
谷物经销商、乙醇生产商和食品加工商越来越多地将承购合约与检验的碳属性挂钩。 CHS 和阿彻丹尼尔斯米德兰公司 (ADM) 等大型合作社已设立碳差异化基差溢价,向农民支付每蒲式耳 0.50-1.00 美元的额外费用,用于交付持有监管链 (CoC) 碳证书的玉米。为了增强可追溯性,这些买家正在整合 Xpansiv 和 Persefoni 等供应商提供的区块链帐本,以便即时核对登记记录的烧录情况和谷物实际产量。此类框架降低了重复计算的风险,并允许加工商向终端市场报告碳中和产品。
从农化巨头到跨国粮食贸易商等行业相关人员一直在利用碳信用组合作为对冲新合规制度和边境调整措施的策略性对冲。例如,欧盟提案的碳边境调整机制 (CBAM) 将奖励欧盟以外的大豆和玉米出口商将其内嵌排放内部化,碳信用的有效估值高达 33.96 美元/吨二氧化碳。拥有成熟 AFOLU 信用管道的公司可以透过自愿信用註销来抵消潜在的 CBAM 负债,从而平滑关税风险。同时,保险公司正在提供客製化的「碳绩效」承保,透过降低 10-15% 的检验碳汇农场的保费,将碳信用的经济性进一步嵌入行业风险模型中。
市场区隔
细分一:按应用
清除计划领域主导全球农业、林业和土地利用碳信用市场(按应用)
以清除为重点的努力已迅速成为农业、林业和土地利用领域碳信用市场的前沿,因为它们将碳无限期地锁定在土壤和生物质中,而不是简单地避免未来的排放。深根覆盖作物、生物炭土壤改良剂和综合农林业等技术不仅可以封存二氧化碳,还可以提高土壤肥力、产量稳定性和生态系统多样性。高解析度卫星影像和人工智慧土壤碳模型的出现降低了 MRV 成本和审核时间。随着欧盟碳清除和碳农业条例等监管制度越来越多地奖励真正的清除,以清除为重点的计划可能会占 AFOLU 信用需求的很大一部分。
细分2:按计划类型
预计林业部门将在 2024 年至 2035 年期间超过其他 AFOLU 部门,因为林业部门每公顷具有很高的碳储存潜力、成熟的测量方法以及企业净零计画的强劲需求。遥感探测的最新改进已将检验成本降低了 30%,使大规模重新造林和改善森林管理计划更具有融资可行性。同时,欧盟的碳去除和碳农场 (CRCF) 规则等监管顺风明确优先考虑人工林等长寿命、基于自然的去除,从而推动了溢价(比 VCM 平均值高出 15%)以及与主要工业排放的长期承购协议。此外,林业计划提供的协同效益(生物多样性、流域保护、社区生计)与不断发展的 ESG 指令一致,进一步巩固了林业在农业和土地使用自愿碳信用市场中的主导成长轨迹。
细分3:按地区
2024年,亚太地区引领农业、林业和土地利用碳信用市场,这得益于大规模农业的融合、中国、日本和韩国雄心勃勃的企业净零目标以及政府「低碳农业」奖励的迅速扩大。在中国,农业农村部的农业补贴改革将补贴与土壤碳封存试点挂钩,释放了数亿美元的计划投资。在基准排放更高、封存潜力更大的新兴市场,具有成本竞争力的产量推动AFOLU信用额度发放与前一年同期比较增38%,而数位化MRV平台将检验週期从数月缩短至数週,进一步加快了部署速度。这些因素使亚太地区成为成长最快的地区,在数量和价值成长方面均超过北美和欧洲。
全球农业、林业和土地利用碳信用市场的最新趋势
需求——驱动因素与限制因素
市场需求驱动:2050年达成净零碳排放目标
企业 2050 年净零排放承诺正推动对高完整性农业、林业和土地利用 (AFOLU) 信用额度的需求激增。联合利华的大部分排放依赖农业供应链,自 2015 年以来,该公司已将排放直接和能源采购排放减少了 70% 以上,併计划最早在 2030 年将剩余排放减少到零。为了缩小内部减排和绝对中和之间的差距,该公司正在从拉丁美洲和东南亚的计划进行多年期土壤碳和林业信用额度购买。在 2020 年实现营运中和后,苹果承诺到 2030 年实现全价值链中和,其恢復基金将在巴西和巴拉圭部署约 2.8 亿美元用于保护和重新造林计划,特别针对持久性砍伐。在获得「基于科学的目标」倡议的核准后,奢侈品集团开云集团承诺到2030年将其范围一和范围二的排放在2015年的基础上减少90%,并透过采购基于自然的信用额度来实现这一目标。英格卡集团(IKEA)同样计划在2030年将其价值链排放减半,并承诺大量收购AFOLU信用额度以抵销剩余排放。这些紧迫的净零排放蓝图有效地将企业永续性承诺转化为对AFOLU碳计划的现实需求,刺激了市场成长并为计划融资提供了支撑。
市场限制:土地所有权的不确定性和登记延迟
土地所有权的不确定性和登记延迟削弱了农业、林业和土地利用计划获得碳信用发放的基本合格。领先的登记开发通讯协定,例如 Verra 的 VM0042(用于改善农业土地管理),要求计划提案透过永久业权、长期租赁或在国家土地管理局登记的同等合法所有权,证明其对土地拥有明确的、法律认可的权利。然而,在非洲和拉丁美洲的许多地方,传统所拥有土地製度与法律制度共存,导致正式所有权持有不明确。计划开发商通常要花 6 到 12 个月甚至更长的时间签署租约并协商所有权澄清,然后才申请登记。这个漫长的预登记阶段会延迟信用额度的发放并增加交易成本,降低计划内部报酬率并抑制依赖精简入职流程的小农聚集模式。
区块链通证化正在彻底改变农业、林业和土地利用碳信用额的获取方式,将传统上流动性差且被绑定在註册中心的抵消额转化为可程式设计的数位资产,这些数位资产可以在公开市场上全天候交易。透过通证化,每个碳信用(原本以註册中心管理的证书形式发放)都被「桥接」到区块链网路上,并被铸造为可认证或不可认证的通证。这个流程允许部分所有权、链上赎回、即时来源证明,并且智慧合约可以自动遵守註册中心的规则和赎回通讯协定。因此,市场参与企业可以进行小批量交易,直接从零售钱包参与排碳权市场,并透过公共帐本即时验证退役状态。透过降低最低交易规模并避免繁琐的双边谈判,通证化将碳市场开放给更广泛的私人投资者、个人、家族办公室和小型企业买家,同时保持註册中心所要求的高诚信标准。

Introduction of Carbon Credits Market for Agriculture, Forestry, and Land Use
The carbon credits market for agriculture, forestry, and land use monetizes on-farm practices that sequester atmospheric CO2 or avoid greenhouse gas emissions, transforming regenerative techniques, such as cover cropping, reduced tillage, agroforestry, and peatland restoration, into tradable environmental assets. In this voluntary market segment, each credit represents one metric ton of CO2e removed or avoided by agricultural activities, validated under rigorous frameworks such as Verra's VCS, Gold Standard's Climate and Agriculture methodology, or the emerging EU Carbon Removals & Carbon Farming (CRCF) Regulation. By channeling private capital into soil health and land-use innovations, the market offers farmers new revenue streams and bolsters global climate mitigation efforts through scalable, nature-based solutions.
KEY MARKET STATISTICS | |
---|---|
Forecast Period | 2025 - 2035 |
2025 Evaluation | $8.80 Billion |
2035 Forecast | $67.07 Billion |
CAGR | 22.51% |
Market Introduction
As of 2024, agricultural carbon credits account for roughly 100 Mt CO2e of the ~216 Mt CO2e in the Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) voluntary market, with prices averaging $4-6/tCO2e, nearly 15 % below forestry premiums. Leading food and agribusiness firms (e.g., Bayer's ForGround, Indigo Ag, Nutrien) have enrolled over 3,000 growers across North America and Europe, leveraging satellite-based monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) tools to streamline project validation. Despite this momentum, fragmented methodology adoption and investor caution around permanence and additionality continue to constrain credit volumes, keeping agriculture's share at approximately 30 % of total AFOLU issuance.
Over the next decade, robust policy drivers, such as the EU's CRCF voluntary certification and anticipated U.S. "carbon farming" incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act, are expected to double annual agriculture-credit issuances to 200+ Mt CO2e by 2035. Advances in digital MRV (including drone-enabled soil-carbon mapping, blockchain-based registries, and AI-driven emissions modeling) will lower project development costs by 20-30 %, unlocking participation among smallholder and specialty-crop producers. Meanwhile, corporates across CPG, retail, and financial services are poised to integrate on-farm credits into comprehensive nature-positive portfolios.
Industrial Impact
The burgeoning carbon credits market compels agribusiness conglomerates and input suppliers to recalibrate their investment portfolios. Leading seed and fertilizer manufacturers, such as Corteva Agriscience and Nutrien, now allocate substantial R&D budgets toward carbon-smart products (e.g., low-tillage seed coatings, nutrient-use-efficiency inoculants) that qualify for soil?carbon protocols. This shift not only opens new service lines, but farmers can earn $15-$25/ha in upfront payments for adopting coated seeds or microbial biostimulants, as well as hedge revenue streams against commodity-price volatility. In response, private equity funds have been syndicating deals to bundle soil-carbon practices with precision?agriculture sensors, underwriting equipment-as-a-service contracts that deliver both agronomic and carbon outcomes.
On-farm operations have been undergoing a systemic redesign to optimize carbon sequestration alongside yield goals. Equipment OEMs such as John Deere and AGCO deploy telemetry-enabled, banded-application fertilizer rigs and high-clearance air seeding implements that reduce soil disturbance by up to 80%. These machines integrate directly with carbon?quantification platforms (e.g., Project Carbonview), automatically logging reduced-till passes and residue cover metrics to verifiers. By embedding carbon-credit eligibility as a native feature, operators streamline third?party audits, shrinking verification timelines from 90 days to under 30 days and capturing incremental returns of $10-$15 per acre, effectively lowering the breakeven cost of precision equipment by 8-12 %.
Grain handlers, ethanol producers, and food processors are increasingly conditioning offtake contracts on verified carbon attributes. Major cooperatives such as CHS and Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) have instituted "carbon?differentiated basis premiums," paying farmers an extra $0.50-$1.00/bushel for corn delivered with chain-of-custody carbon certificates. To enforce traceability, these buyers integrate blockchain-anchored ledgers powered by providers such as Xpansiv and Persefoni that reconcile registry retirements with physical grain loads in real-time. Such frameworks reduce double?counting risk and allow processors to report carbon-neutral products to end markets, fetching 5-10 % price premiums in Europe and North America under voluntary labeling schemes.
Industrial stakeholders, from agrochemical giants to multinational grain traders, have been leveraging carbon-credit portfolios as a strategic hedge against emerging compliance regimes and border adjustment measures. For example, the EU's proposed Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) incentivizes non-EU soy and maize exporters to internalize embedded emissions, effectively valuing carbon credits at up to $33.96 / tCO2. Companies with established AFOLU-credit channels can offset potential CBAM liabilities by retiring voluntary credits, thereby smoothing tariff exposures. Simultaneously, insurers are offering bespoke "carbon-performance" underwriting, reducing premiums by 10-15 % for farms that maintain verified carbon sinks, further embedding carbon-credit economics into industrial risk models.
Market Segmentation:
Segmentation 1: by Application
Removal Project Segment to Dominate the Global Carbon Credits Market for Agriculture, Forestry, and Land Use (by Application)
Removal-focused initiatives have surged to the forefront of the carbon credits market for agriculture, forestry, and land use sphere because they lock carbon into soils and biomass indefinitely rather than merely averting future emissions. Techniques such as deep-rooting cover crops, biochar soil amendments, and integrated agroforestry not only sequester CO2 but also bolster soil fertility, yield stability, and ecosystem diversity, qualities that satisfy stringent permanence requirements and attract price premiums of 20-30 percent over avoidance credits. The advent of high-resolution satellite imagery and AI-enabled soil-carbon modeling has slashed MRV expenses and accelerated audit timelines, further enticing corporate buyers who need demonstrable, long-lasting offsets for their net-zero commitments. As regulatory regimes such as the EU's Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming Regulation increasingly reward genuine removals, removal-centric projects will continue to command the lion's share of AFOLU credit demand.
Segmentation 2: by Project Type
Forestry Segment to Witness the Highest Growth between 2024 and 2035
The forestry segment is set to outpace other AFOLU categories from 2024 through 2035 due to its superior per-hectare carbon-sequestration potential, well-established measurement methodologies, and strong demand from corporate net-zero programs. Recent enhancements in remote?sensing and LiDAR-based forest-growth modeling have slashed verification costs by up to 30%, making large-scale reforestation and improved forest management projects more bankable. Simultaneously, regulatory tailwinds, such as the EU's Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming (CRCF) Regulation, explicitly prioritize long-lived, nature-based removals such as afforestation, driving premium pricing (+15% vs. the VCM average) and long-term offtake contracts from major industrial emitters. Moreover, forestry projects deliver co-benefits (biodiversity, watershed protection, community livelihoods) that align with evolving ESG mandates, further reinforcing forestry's dominant growth trajectory in the voluntary carbon credits market for agriculture and land use.
Segmentation 3: by Region
Asia-Pacific led the carbon credits market for agriculture, forestry, and land use in 2024 owing to a convergence of large-scale farming operations, ambitious corporate net-zero targets in China, Japan, and South Korea, and rapidly expanding government "carbon farming" incentives. In China, agricultural subsidy reforms under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs tied payments to soil-carbon sequestration pilots, unlocking hundreds of millions of dollars in project investment; meanwhile, Japan's Farm Carbon Offset Program and South Korea's Green New Deal both mandate voluntary agriculture offsets for key industrial sectors. Cost-competitive yields in emerging markets, where baseline emissions are higher and sequestration potential is vast, have driven a 38% year-on-year jump in AFOLU credit issuance, while digital MRV platforms have slashed verification timelines from months to weeks, further accelerating uptake. These factors have positioned Asia-Pacific as the fastest-growing region, outpacing both North America and Europe in volume and value growth.
Recent Developments in the Global Carbon Credits Market for Agriculture, Forestry, and Land Use
Demand - Drivers and Limitations
Market Demand Drivers: Achieving Net-Zero Carbon Emissions Goal by 2050
Corporate net-zero commitments by 2050 have rapidly escalated demand for high?integrity agricultural, forestry, and land?use (AFOLU) credits. Unilever, which traces a significant portion of its emissions to agricultural supply chains, has already cut its direct and energy?procured emissions by over 70 % since 2015 and aims to eliminate the remainder as soon as 2030. To bridge the gap between internal reductions and absolute neutrality, multi?year purchases of soil-carbon and forestry credits from projects in Latin America and Southeast Asia are being locked in. Apple, having achieved operational neutrality in 2020, has committed to full value?chain neutrality by 2030; its Restore Fund channels nearly USD 280 million into conservation and reforestation schemes in Brazil and Paraguay, specifically targeting durable removals. Luxury group Kering, approved by the Science Based Targets initiative, has been reducing Scopes 1 and 2 emissions by 90 % versus 2015 levels by 2030, underpinning this ambition with nature?based credit procurement. Ingka Group (IKEA) likewise plans to halve its value?chain emissions by 2030, signaling significant AFOLU credit offtakes to offset residual emissions. These urgent net?zero roadmaps effectively convert corporate sustainability pledges into real?world demand for AFOLU carbon projects, driving market growth and underpinning project finance.
Market Restraints: Land Tenure Uncertainty and Registration Delays
Land tenure uncertainty and registration delays undermine the foundational eligibility of agricultural, forestry, and land use projects for carbon credit issuance. Development protocols across leading registries, such as Verra's VM0042 for Improved Agricultural Land Management, mandate that project proponents demonstrate clear, legally recognized rights to the land through freehold ownership, long?term leases, or equivalent statutory titles registered with national land authorities. In many regions of Africa and Latin America, however, customary land tenure systems coexist alongside statutory regimes, creating ambiguity over who holds formal rights. Project developers often spend six to twelve months, or longer, securing and validating lease agreements or negotiating title clarifications before even applying for registry listing. This protracted pre-registration phase delays credit issuance and escalates transaction costs, eroding project IRRs and deterring smallholder aggregation models that rely on streamlined onboarding.
Market Opportunities: Blockchain Tokenization and Retail Access
Blockchain tokenization has been revolutionizing access to carbon credits for agricultural, forestry, and land use by transforming traditionally illiquid, registry-bound offsets into programmable digital assets that can be traded 24/7 on open markets. Through tokenization, each carbon credit, originally issued as a registry-managed certificate, is "bridged" onto a blockchain network and minted as a fungible or non-fungible token. This process enables fractional ownership, on-chain retirement, and real-time proof of provenance, while smart contracts automate compliance with registry rules and retirement protocols. As a result, buyers can transact in smaller lots, participate directly in carbon credits market from retail wallets, and verify retirement status instantly via public ledgers. By lowering minimum trade sizes and bypassing cumbersome bilateral negotiations, tokenization opens carbon markets to a broader retail investor base, individuals, family offices, and SME buyers while maintaining the high-integrity standards required by registries.
