Soils for the Future (SFF) can assess the potential carbon offsets of your project with a variety of methods and for several different types of agriculture, forestry, and land use (AFOLU) projects.
Soils for the Future (SFF) can assess the potential carbon offsets of your project with a variety of methods and for several different types of agriculture, forestry, and land use (AFOLU) projects.
- We can readily evaluate expected carbon offsets, uncertainties and non-permanence risks.
- We design customized service plans for each project depend on the needs and budget of the developer through a detailed proposal with explicit tasks, deliverables, and timelines.
- We have highly qualified Ph.D-level technical experts who are familiar with the required statistical methods and models.
- Our expertise allows you to focus on the operational and financial aspects of your projects, while we handle all the technical analyses and writing.

Carbon Assessment
Carbon Assessment
SFF has staff with extensive expertise in measuring soil carbon and determining how it is influenced by land use change or potential project activities. SFF has the expertise to perform modeling to predict how soil carbon stocks will respond to proposed project activities, such as fire management, grazing, crop tillage systems, fertilization schemes, etc. Models we have expertise with include RothC, CENTURY, COMET, SNAP, Hurley Pasture, or EPIC.
Grazing Management
Grazing Management
Our 30+ years’ experience in consulting and researching grazing by both wildlife and livestock across the globe allows us to offer detailed grazing management strategies that can lead to soil and productivity improvements and carbon sequestration
Project Documentation Preparation
Project Documentation Preparation
Project document preparation can be a time-consuming process as many developers lack the expertise to efficiently assemble and analyze data and describe how proposed project activities will meet the requirements of target methodologies. SFF has the technical expertise in key AFOLU methodologies plus experience in preparing project documents directed at specific carbon registries and their methodologies.
