It's time to act
“Agricultural land corresponds to 38% of the global land surface, so every sustainable practice gaining popularity has a major impact on tackling climate change. By not ploughing fields, farmers protect the topsoil from erosion, enriching the soil and helping it retain moisture for better yields”
Violeta Gevorkjan, soil and climate change mitigation advocate, nature-based solutions GHG project lead
Farmers of a new generation
“Carbon farming is not only a better way of growing crops for farmers, it’s also a way to save the environment and clean the air we are all breathing. We are a green country and we love nature.”
Jolanta Greinienė, Lithuanian farmer
How does carbon farming work?
Carbon reduction
Regenerative agriculture contributes to the sequestration of CO₂e
Carbon certificate
Each carbon certificate represents one tonne of carbon dioxide stored in the soil.
Payment for certificates
Farmers get paid for positive impact to the environment
Carbon emissions
Corporations buy carbon certificates to abate their unavoidable carbon emissions
Carbon farming practices
Reduced fuel consumption
No-till, minimum tillage or similar soil management
Reduced fertilization
Crop rotation
Cover crops
Science Behind Carbon
Farming Programme
FAQ
We created an easy and intuitive climate mitigation platform suitable for both farmers and investors. We also have many answers to the questions that might arise while familiarising yourself with our products.
What is Voluntary Carbon Market?
Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) is a decentralized market where non-state actors such as companies, cities or regions seek to voluntarily offset their emissions, for example, to achieve mitigation targets such as net zero emissions. This market creates financial incentives for activities that reduce or remove greenhouse gas emissions. In these schemes, emissions are quantified into carbon credits that can be bought and sold. One tradable carbon credit equals one ton of carbon dioxide - or the equivalent amount of a different greenhouse gas - reduced, sequestered or avoided.
What is carbon farming?
Carbon farming allows farmers to become true custodians of our natural environment and shepherds of our climate. Ir refers to a broad set of agricultural practices that enhance the uptake and storage of CO2 in soil. These practices, like minimum tillage or no-tillage, crop rotation and cover crops also increase soil resilience against floods and draughts.
What are soil carbon credits?
Soil carbon credits incentivize land-management practices that increase organic-carbon storage in soil. Carbon is sequestered by plants during the process of photosynthesis. After rigorous methodologies are applied to measure levels of carbon sequestration, farmers generate soil carbon credits that can be sold in the Voluntary Carbon Market.
