In agriculture, there are two approaches to generating carbon credits:

• Emission reductions/avoidance (e.g., through less fuel, heating fuel, fertilizers, pesticides).
• Carbon sequestration in the soil (e.g., through humus formation via regenerative farming methods).

Humus is a crucial factor in carbon storage in the soil. 1 tonne of CO₂ bound in the form of carbon through humus formation corresponds to 1 CO₂ certificate, which is traded on voluntary CO₂ markets for 15–350 euros per tonne. CO₂ certificates from CARBOFARM are based on actual achieved carbon sequestration and serve companies, such as those in the food or aviation industries, for voluntarily compensating their emissions.

Benefits for Farmers:

• Financial support for investments.
• Additional income source through the sale of carbon credits resulting from humus creation.
• CARBOFARM takes care of the sale of the carbon credits.
