Improving climate and soils with regenerative agriculture

Klim aims at spreading regenerative agriculture as quickly as possible to maximize agriculture's contribution to climate goals. Almost a quarter of all global emissions today are caused by agriculture and forestry. Agricultural activities such as livestock and food production, as well as land-use change, water use, and deforestation, release significant amounts of greenhouse gases such as CO₂, methane, and nitrous oxide, contributing to global warming and destroying natural ecosystems. The consequences of these activities are also noticeable on our doorsteps. By transitioning to regenerative agriculture with Klim’s support, farmers in Germany are utilising and enhancing the soil's potential as a carbon sink, sequestering atmospheric CO₂ (up to 11 gigatonnes each year, which is 80% of the needed yearly negative emissions) and permanently storing it in the soil - where it belongs and has far-reaching benefits. In addition to eliminating climate-damaging emissions, regenerative methods have numerous additional benefits. They improve biodiversity and support the rebuilding of soil organic matter, improving its fertility and water-storage capacity. This results in more resilient and nutrient-rich yields and will thus make farms more profitable and climate resilient in the long run, and our food healthier. Klim and regenerative agriculture contribute to seven SDGs in total and focus on improving agricultural soils and, thus, food production on our doorstep. By purchasing Klim credits, companies can support farmers within the region they operate in.
