I don't really see the business model though. That's like trying to sell Chinese fishing fleets subpar nets that cost more and catch fewer fish because you think overfishing the oceans is a bad thing. It's not going to be a very successful business.

None in isolation. But if/when countries start enacting carbon taxes & bonuses that account for the externalities, that could significantly change the cost equation, it could become more profitable for farmers to adopt farming techniques that require less land (less carbon tax to pay), and use the now unneeded land for passive income through forestry (get paid by the state to manage a carbon sink).
