The project creates a direct link between farmers and businesses through the trading of high-quality carbon credits, which finance and accelerate the transition to more sustainable and climate-friendly agricultural practices. The project works with farmers in Europe.

Carbon dioxide emissions from agriculture

Conventional agriculture has long been characterized by intensive production systems. These methods have led to soil depletion and made the sector a significant source of total greenhouse gas emissions. Although many farmers are aware of the need for change, they face economic risks and often lack the necessary tools to both measure and financially benefit from the climate-improving efforts they make.

This project, developed by AgreenaCarbon, is designed to address these challenges by reducing financial barriers and offering clear economic incentives for transition.

"While it is a carbon sink, this project also creates resilient landscapes that are better able to cope with climate change. We look forward to taking customers to visit some of the farms to gain a better understanding of what regenerative agriculture is all about," says ZeroMission's sales manager Maria .

Climate financing through regenerative agriculture

The project focuses on rewarding farmers for implementing and maintaining regenerative agricultural practices through multi-year contracts. These practices reduce the climate impact of agriculture while improving soil health. Key measures include:

• Reduced tillage: reducing plowing preserves soil structure and prevents carbon stored in the soil from being released as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
• Increased cover crops: the use of crops that cover the ground—such as clover—during periods when the main crop is not being grown, which helps to sequester carbon, prevent erosion, and improve the water-holding capacity of the soil.
• Variations in crop rotation: growing different crops in rotation increases biodiversity in the soil and contributes to its resilience.
• Improved nutrient management: More precise use of fertilizers reduces emissions of nitrous oxide, which, like carbon dioxide, is also a powerful greenhouse gas.

Certified carbon credits through Verra

To ensure the credibility of the project and the climate benefits generated, the project uses advanced digital monitoring that combines:

1. Satellite data
2. AI models
3. Soil sampling
4. Historical data at farm level

The measurement of carbon sequestration and emission reductions is then verified according to the Verra standard. This makes the project the first large-scale initiative in Europe to achieve this type of certification, which guarantees high quality and transparency in the carbon credits generated.

Benefits of carbon credits in agriculture

The project has already generated millions of tons of reductions in emissions and carbon dioxide absorption. However, the benefits extend far beyond just climate impact:

• Financial incentives: farmers gain a new source of income through the sale of carbon credits, which lowers the threshold for introducing expensive or risky transitions.
• Improved soil health: regenerative methods strengthen the resilience of the soil, its ability to retain water, and improve biodiversity in the fields.
• Long-term stability: multi-year contracts and agronomic support create long-term stability for farmers during the transition.

Climate financing through ZeroMission

At ZeroMission , we ZeroMission always worked to ensure that climate financing through carbon credits not only contributes to preventing, reducing, or sequestering carbon dioxide, but also improves social, health, and economic conditions for local populations. The Regenerative Agriculture project aligns with this philosophy by directly supporting European farmers in a sustainable transition.

This is a concrete example of how private financing through the voluntary carbon market can channel funds into nature-based solutions in agriculture while driving a green transition in Europe.
