Alternative farming
Soil and community carbon programmes
We combine established farming knowledge with practices that keep carbon in the soil, and link the results to carbon programmes that pay the farmers who deliver them.

Carbon
Measured, verified sequestration.
In plain words
About this service.
Farming can store carbon in the soil. Practices such as crop rotation, cover crops and organic methods improve soil structure and help it hold more carbon and water.
We support farmers in adopting these practices while keeping the farming they already know. The results are measured and linked to community carbon programmes, so farmers earn carbon revenue on top of their harvest.
One of these programmes is planned alongside our hydro and solar project in Mozambique.
Who it is for
- Buyers looking for community-based carbon credits
- Farming communities and cooperatives
- Companies with supply chains in agriculture
What you get
- Credits from measured, verified soil carbon
- Programmes that pay farmers for results
- Clear reporting on practices and outcomes
Practices we support
Alternating crops restores nutrients.
Fewer synthetic fertilisers.
Predators instead of pesticides.
Cover crops keep carbon in the ground.
How it works
Step by step.
- 01
Seed
Select farms and practices.
- 02
Cultivate
Support the change on the ground.
- 03
Harvest impact
Measure results and issue credits.
Do farmers have to change what they grow?
No. The programmes build on existing farming practices and add methods that improve the soil.
How do farmers benefit?
They receive a share of the carbon revenue, and healthier soil can support more resilient yields.
