Carbon Farming Program of
Poland

We must remember that soil is a living organism, and we farm per cubic metre, not per square metre.

Piotr, 120 ha of arable land

In the autumn of 2020, HeavyFinance expanded its operations to Poland with the objective of supporting farmers in their transition to regenerative farming while improving soil health and its interdependent ecosystem services.


The Program aims to restore and improve soil health and its interdependent ecosystem services like carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling, efficient photosynthesis, water purification among other ecosystem services.

Meet the Farmers

Farmer Wojciech

264 ha of arable land

“Evaluating the carbon levels in my soil is crucial, as it directly correlates with soil fertility, which is a fundamental aspect of regenerative farming. Respecting and nurturing the soil is at the heart of my farming practices.”

Farmer Piotr

120 ha of arable land

“Firstly, we must remember that soil is our workspace. Whether the farm relies on crop production or also involves animal production, we still work with the soil. It’s our most important factor, and we must care for it.”

The implementation of the Program has allowed a universal adoption of regenerative practices among participants with 100% of farmers practising reduced tillage and crop rotations practices, 70% of them integrating cover crops and 30% of them reducing synthetic fertiliser.
