Every day farmers meaningfully contribute to society. Whether it’s producing the food we eat or stewarding the land, the efforts of farmers are felt far beyond the field.
As farmers deal with more and more difficulties, including climate change, rising input costs, and water scarcity, it’s clear that we need to find solutions to these challenges. One of those solutions is regenerative agriculture.
Through our Carbon+ Program, you can access an additional income stream as you transition your farm.
What are carbon credits?
A carbon credit is a certificate stating that one metric ton of CO2 has been removed or reduced from the atmosphere. They take various forms, including nature-based and technology-based.
When it comes to farming, carbon credits are created based on the CO2 you draw down from the atmosphere into your soil through regenerative agriculture.
Regenerative agriculture is a way of farming that restores and enhances farmland. It pays a lot of attention to soil health, improving the water cycle and storing carbon in the process.
The approach delivers several benefits for your farm. This includes increased profitability and productivity, flood and drought resilience, and high-quality, nutrient dense crops.
The benefits of transitioning your farm with Carbon+
Generate additional income
Carbon+ Credits reward you for your contributions to society.
They can be thought of as any other crop you sell from your farm. The bigger the yield, the higher the reward.
Beyond that, though, regenerative farming is good for your business. A study by the BCG (2023) found that after six years, regenerative farms were 60% more profitable than alternative approaches.
Support from a vibrant farming community
Farming can be isolating. But the path doesn’t need to be walked alone. Through our community, you can connect and learn from farmers who have started their transition to regenerative farming.
Rather than taking the difficulties of farming on your shoulders, you can share your learnings, experiences and outcomes.
Resilience to extreme weather
Agriculture depends on natural systems – natural systems that happen to be changing. Building resilience to extreme weather the core of your farm is crucial to carry on producing food and stewarding the land. Regenerative management provides an unprecedented opportunity to do just that.
Restoring your soil improves natural drainage, allowing for faster infiltration and water retention. Healthy soils act like a sponge, absorbing vast quantities of water in floods & storing it securely in times of drought. As a result, you can achieve higher yields in dry periods & mitigate the risk of flooding on-farm and downstream.
The benefits of regenerative agriculture beyond
the farm gates
The benefits of regenerative agriculture don’t stop at the farm gates. Participating in our Carbon+ Program allows you to generate additional income and future-proof your farm, but there are countless other benefits you can harvest on your farm.
Primary Benefit
Co-Benefits
long-term incentives for positive climate impact for farmers
High quality food production
Soil organic carbon capture
Amplified resilience against extreme weather
Soil health
Biodiversity
Animal welfare
Better water quality & retention
Increased farm profitability making the family business more attractive to future generations
Produce high-quality, nutrient-dense food
Healthy food starts with healthy soil. The food of today doesn’t have the same nutritional value as the food produced 50 years ago. But this doesn’t need to be the case.
Food produced regeneratively has been shown to have as much as 34% higher nutrients. This offers an opportunity for farmers to also receive higher margins for your produce.
Restore your farm ecosystem
By working in line with nature rather than against it, you can boost biodiversity on your farm, increase resilience to extreme weather events, and improve your water availability.
For example, a study found that for every 1% increase in organic matter, soils can hold up to 30,000 more litres of water per hectare.
The bottom line
With your help, we can make sure the agricultural sector of tomorrow is one that regenerates rather than extracts, one that sequesters CO2 rather than emits it, and above all, one that rewards your positive contributions to society.
Through our Carbon+ Program, you can access an additional income stream as you make the change.
