Funding
The UK Farm Soil Carbon Code was supported by the Environment Agency through a 2021 grant from the Natural Environment Investment Readiness Fund (NEIRF) awarded to Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group (FWAG).
The Code project was also supported through a dedicated interim grant (2022) from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation for programme management, drafting and communications activities relating to the development of the minimum requirements and broader engagement.
The Board is currently seeking financial support from public sector, corporate and private sources for additional research, drafting, communication and consultation activities that will enable soil carbon markets to be scaled across the UK.
The SSA is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee. We decided not to set up a charity because that would limit some activities such as campaigning on government policies. With a not-for-profit company the directors don’t benefit from profits and money raised is spent on company aims.
