Commercial carbon credits platform paying farmers for adopting regenerative practices. Featured in Issue 17 (April 2022) as a “farmers-first” approach — one of the signals that carbon markets were maturing beyond pilot schemes into commercial reality.
How It Works
- Farmers sign up and commit to regen practices (no-till/min-till, cover crops, diverse rotations)
- Agreena verifies practices and measures/estimates carbon sequestration
- Generates certified carbon credits sold to corporate buyers
- Farmer receives payment per credit generated
- “Gentle Farming with Agreena” — positioned as accessible entry point for farmers into carbon markets
Significance
Agreena’s appearance in Direct Driller (alongside Net Zero Carbon Farming coverage of carbon codes and offsetting) marks the point where carbon revenue became a practical consideration for UK no-till farmers rather than a theoretical future possibility.
