Project overview

The AgreenaCarbon Project supports farmers in Ukraine in adopting regenerative practices that build soil organic carbon on arable land. The programme operates against the backdrop of one of the world's most carbon-rich soil belts (Chernozem) and one of its most strategically important grain-producing regions.

Practice changes typically include reduced tillage, cover cropping, and diversified rotations, with credit issuance tied to verified increases in soil organic carbon against a baseline. Carbon revenue helps fund the transition costs and supports the resilience of Ukrainian agriculture under difficult operating conditions.

The wider impact reaches grain markets, soil security, and rural livelihoods. Independent verification and monitoring are central to the credibility of the credits.

Community benefits

Financial resilience under difficult conditions: Carbon revenue helps Ukrainian farming communities maintain the viability of their land through wider economic and logistical pressure.
Support for the transition: The programme income helps fund the cost of shifting to regenerative practices and lower-input systems.
Grain-market security: Restoring soil organic carbon protects the long-term productive capacity of one of the world's most important grain regions.

Environmental and biodiversity benefits

Chernozem soil recovery: Reduced tillage and cover cropping protect and restore Ukraine's black-soil belt, one of the world's most carbon-rich soil systems.
Water and erosion management: Regenerative practice improves water infiltration and reduces wind erosion across large arable landscapes.
Soil biodiversity: Diversified rotations and lower synthetic-input dependence restore the soil microbiology that supports nutrient cycling.
