The price is wrong: SDSU researchers explore farmers' interests in carbon markets
Carbon programs in the region will pay farmers to adopt "climate-smart" farming techniques — like no or reduced tillage, cover crops and nutrient management — but recent studies have found that only a small percentage of eligible farmers choose to enroll in these programs. A new study from SDSU's Ness School of Management and Economics — led by associate professors Tong Wang and Hailong Jin — examines the barriers to enrolling in these carbon programs.
