Ecosystem Markets FAQ Survey
ISAP serves as an independent resource for farmers and their advisers on ecosystem/carbon market opportunities, considerations, and developments. To best serve this role, it is necessary to understand where the biggest information gaps occur and what aspects of carbon markets require further review and explanation.  

We want to hear from you! What questions are you hearing from farmers regarding carbon markets? Which questions are the most relevant / urgent? What is stopping farmers from engaging with carbon markets?

The following survey will help us answer these questions and identify needs for additional ecosystem market resources and programming.  Responses received by July 1 will be eligible for a chance to win an ISAP fleece.

** ISAP does not endorse any particular program or company. Our aim is to facilitate data sharing and assist farmers to navigate the evolving landscape of ecosystem markets.**

If you have any questions about the survey or ISAP's work, please email ilsustainableag@gmail.com
