Carbon Credits That Help Restore the Planet

Carbon credits are permits that allow the emission of a specific amount of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases. One credit equals the emission of one ton of CO2 or its equivalent.

What is Carbon Credit?

India holds immense potential for driving sustainable development and combating climate change.

Carbon credits are a key component of emissions trading that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In simple terms, one carbon credit is equivalent to the reduction of one ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases. These credits are tradable commodities and serve as a way to incentivize and finance emission reduction projects.

Why Choose Regenerative Agriculture?

CO2 Storage

Too much carbon is in the atmosphere, and not enough in the soil. Returning carbon to the soil can help combat climate change.

Healthier Food

Healthy soil promotes optimal nutrition and plant health by supporting soil organisms, all without the use of chemicals.

Increased Biodiversity

Restoring healthy soils and water cycles plays a vital role in rebuilding species diversity across the entire landscape.

Soil Story
Learn how we can “sequester” (store) carbon from our atmosphere through regenerative agriculture,

composting, and other land management practices.

Key Principles of Regenerative Farming

Do not disturb

Chemical and mechanical disturbance are not good for soil life.

Armor the soil surface

Living and dead matter to protect against erosion and the elements.

Know your context

Understand natural laws to know what works in your environment

Integrate animals

Animals and plants
enrich each other.

Keep living roots in the soil,

Plants nourish it through photosynthesis year-round.

Mix species

More diversity boosts ecosystem resilience.

Reward System

Minimum reward EUR 8
per tonne of CO2

+ increase by the coefficient according to the country of origin + up to 30% bonus for using multiple elements of regenerative management at the same time (Regenerative Practise Index) • 70% of the revenue from the sale of carbon credits goes to farmers. This is linked to an annual extraordinary compensation

Minimum reward per tonne of CO2

How does the reward system work?

1

We regularly pay a financial reward equivalent to 80% of the measured increase in organic carbon in the soil. The remaining 20% is a mandatory certification reserve that never goes on sale.

2

The measured carbon is converted into tonnes of CO₂, which is fixed as organic matter thanks to your management.

3

For every tonne of CO₂ you remove from the atmosphere thanks to your management, we will pay you a minimum reward of 8 EUR.

4

We multiply the reward by the country coefficient. If you improve your regenerative practice, you can also receive a financial bonus of up to 30%. We will need data from your farm to calculate this annually.

5

You will receive 80% of the reward in a given year. We will send the remaining 20% as a top-up payment 5 years after the last measurement, unless there is a significant reduction in soil organic matter in the meantime.

6

The 20% reward remains temporarily in the savings account and serves as an insurance policy for the use of regenerative principles throughout the duration of the programme.

Example of carbon measurements

Amount of COx

To avoid double counting of stored CO₂, we only pay a reward for the year-on-year increase. Measured carbon (Cox) values are naturally quite highly variable. When regenerative practices are followed, the overall trend according to the available science is upwards over the years. However, in some years the carbon content may stagnate or even decrease.

According to the above chart, if there is a decline in the fourth year, no financial reward will be paid. If there is an increase in carbon in the following year, the compensation will be calculated against the difference of the highest previous value achieved. Dark green indicates an increment that is rewarded.
