EO for the MRV of carbon farming
An introduction to how Earth observation supports the monitoring, reporting, and verification of carbon farming. It covers the main satellite data sources and methods for tracking carbon-relevant changes on farmed and managed land, and gives a starting reference for readers new to the EO side of carbon farming.

EO for MRV of carbon farming: uncertainty and benchmarking
Looks at how reliable EO-based carbon estimates are and how to test them. It deals with the uncertainty attached to satellite-derived figures and with benchmarking methods against reference data, which matters for certification because the CRCF needs estimates whose accuracy can be stated and checked.

EO for MRV of carbon farming: EO across the carbon value chain
Sets out where Earth observation fits at each stage of carbon farming, from baseline mapping and project design through ongoing monitoring to reporting and verification. It connects EO data products to the practical steps a carbon farming project goes through, which helps match satellite methods to the evidence the CRCF will ask for.
