Associate Professor Alejandro Plastina and Professor John Crespi authored an article for ProMarket. Plastina and Crespi wrote the article "Policies To Reduce GHG Emissions Should Look to Agricultural Carbon Markets" with Iowa State PhD candidate Oranuch Wongpiyabovorn.

The article examines what it will take for an agricultural carbon market to thrive---including overcoming transparency, measurement, and standardization problems. The authors note that the recently signed Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 is a good start.
