The FAST Partnership webinar explored how high-integrity carbon markets can mobilize climate finance for agrifood systems, aligning with national climate goals and social safeguards. Participants gained practical insights into voluntary and compliance markets, Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, and opportunities/risks for agrifood actors, including farmers, agribusinesses, and financial institutions.

The session emphasized policy conditions crucial for catalyzing private sector demand, such as robust governance, clear authorization, and strong MRV systems. By sharing real-world examples and policy insights, the webinar aims to help stakeholders responsibly scale carbon market participation and unlock sustainable investment.

Angelina Xu, 17, founded a food recovery and composting program in 2018, addressing middle school food waste and insecurity. It collected unopened food for school food banks and sent cafeteria waste for composting. By 2021, her program became Compostology, a youth-led nonprofit now involving 35,000 participants managing 24 K-12 school programs across Maryland.

Compostology received a World Wildlife Fund grant in 2021. In 2023, a student campaign spearheaded by Compostology passed SB 124, allocating $1.25 million for K-12 schools to implement their own programs. Compostology is now rolling out this grant program, ensuring accessibility for all schools.
