Whilst I agree with you in principle YC, COZ are in a difficuly position.

If you use energy, vis a vis carbon, to harvest crops from a carbon sink, bringing it to market, it defeats the purpose, hence it can't be given the carbon credit.

However, I would like to see a reduced carbon credit given to these crops... which would be more appropriate for all involved. Can't see it happening though... Would cause a lot of whinging from fruit farmers etc.

I don't think there will be much trouble with COZ making money. Carbon credit value generally tracks the value of grain crops, as they compete for the same land. It depends, like you say, if they can make it attractive to farmers, or if they get to share in that appreciation...
