Regenerative Agriculture Program Pays Farmers for Soil Carbon

Carbon farming provides new revenue stream for regenerative ag.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - TelAve -- A new partnership between InSoil and Anew Climate will help farmers in Europe get paid for using special earth friendly methods.

These methods, called regenerative agriculture, pull harmful carbon from the air and store it safely in the ground.

This makes the soil healthier for growing food and helps fight climate change. The project has already helped farmers earn money from over 500,000 units of clean air, called carbon credits.

A company named InSoil that helps farmers use earth friendly methods is teaming up with Anew Climate, a company that works on clean air projects.

Together, they have a big plan!

They will help farmers in Lithuania get paid for using regenerative farming practices. These regenerative practices help the soil capture carbon, which is good for the planet.

The farmers are changing how they work to help the soil. They are using cover cropping, which means planting special plants that protect the soil when food isn't growing.

They are also using conservation tillage, which means not digging up the soil too much. These regenerative agriculture practices are part of carbon farming.

When farmers use these methods, they create something valuable called carbon removals or carbon credits. Each credit means one ton of carbon pollution has been taken out of the air and stored in the ground.

The company Anew Climate will now sell these verified carbon credits to other businesses that want to help the environment.

This is great news for farmers!

One expert from InSoil said, "Soil is like a giant sponge for carbon. Our farmers are heroes who can help us reach our clean air goals."

Farmers don't just earn extra money from the carbon credits.

They also get soil health benefits, like better crop rotations and stronger plants that can handle bad weather.

To make sure it's real, scientists take 16 dirt samples from every 100 acre farm. This is a lot of samples and makes the results very trustworthy. A check by an independent company, SGS Global, proved that the farms are now much cleaner.

On nearly 50,000 acres of land, the soil is sucking up an average of 2.27 tons of carbon per acre every year.
