Farmer Cooperative-Led, Partnership-Driven Project for Implementing Novel Perennial Cover Crop Species in Specialty Crop Systems and Integrating with Innovative MRV and Carbon Market
Oakville Bluegrass Cooperative,
U.S. Department of Agriculture
In this pilot project, producers would receive cost-share, technical assistance, capital investment and marketing support for using Oakville bluegrass cover crop in their commercial specialty crop operations. In addition to the creation and sale of carbon offsets, Oakville bluegrass plantings would give producers the opportunity to engage in climate-smart insetting, the practice of applying GHG offsets to one’s own supply chain.
The project partner would seek further underserved producer membership through co-op director Nav Athwal’s network of over 200 Punjabi American producers.
