first carbon credits are polluters and promoters dream... the farmer gets little to nothing and the business people get a pyramid scheme only few could ever dream of and it be legal.   Second, many green manures are plowed under horse power or with non polluting means some solar some simply man power or animal power.    Third, follow the money.   Always follow the money.   The players that have entered organic marketing and carbon credits are big business with a scam at every turn.  Separate those who really work for balanced, non polluting measures, real care of the land from those who scam and you will find the real answers meeting the needs of land and people with a fair return for the efforts.

The burgeoning regulated market for carbon credits is expected to more than double in size to about $68.2bn by 2010, with the unregulated voluntary sector rising to $4bn in the same period.
