A panel presentation slide deck from August 2017 prepared for the Central Coast Climate Collaborative, featuring Russell Chamberlin (Ted Chamberlin Ranch), Anna Olsen (Cachuma Resource Conservation District), Emily Miller (Community Environmental Council), Sharyn Main (Santa Barbara Foundation), and Aeron Arlin Genet (Santa Barbara County APCD). The presentation covers the science of carbon farming, results from the Marin Carbon Project, trial data from the Ted Chamberlin Ranch’s compost and planned grazing experiments, a county-wide vision for scaling compost application across 270,000 acres of suitable rangeland, carbon sequestration modeling (CO2e estimates across multiple NRCS practice standards), and the policy and funding landscape enabling carbon farming in California.
