          Making nature flourish

          Carbon farming: invest in the future of biodiversity

          DGB invests in and develops carbon farming projects that provide measurable and verifiable solutions that benefit nature, boost biodiversity, help local communities, and reduce CO2 emissions. Our goal is to support the regeneration of land and the return of vibrant ecosystems to our planet.

          Making nature prosper

          What is carbon farming?

          Carbon farming is an agricultural method that captures atmospheric carbon, storing it in the soil, through land management practices, such as regenerative agriculture and reforestation. Carbon farming helps to increase the resilience of natural systems, promote biodiversity, and mitigate the impacts of a changing climate.

          Benefitting nature and your portfolio

          Carbon farming provides investors with the opportunity to invest in the future of our planet, with numerous benefits to the environment and your portfolio. Here are just a few reasons to consider investing in carbon farming. 

          Why invest in carbon farming?

          1

          Financial returns

          Investing in carbon-farming projects has the potential to provide significant financial returns. In addition, these projects are low-risk and stable, making them an ideal investment for sustainable long-term growth.

          2

          Biodiversity and land restoration

          Investing in carbon farming supports the restoration of degraded land and habitats, increasing biodiversity and supporting the livelihoods of local communities. 

          3

          Mitigating greenhouse gas emissions

          Carbon farming is an effective way to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions by removing carbon from the atmosphere and storing it in the soil, thereby helping nature flourish and prosper.

          Insights from our projects

          We are proud to prove, together with the project landowner, that quality, verified, carbon farming from native forest conservation can provide a good economic alternative to deforestation. To avoid further deforestation in Kenya, we need solutions that can be implemented immediately, can scale and are bankable for all parties involved.

          Creating sustainable solutions

          How do we do it?

          We have an expert team that designs, develops, implements, and monitors our carbon projects with you based on your farm management data.

          1

          Get to know us

          Participate in a DGB carbon farming project or if you are interested in investing in such a project.

          2

          Share your data

          Based on your land and farm management, we create data-driven plans for implementation.

          3

          Create a Master plan

          We apply the models to establish a baseline of soil organic carbon in your land and potential carbon sequestration through planned regenerative applications.

          Sustainable income system

          The amount will depend on your land’s data and nature, but increasing the carbon in your soil is profitable

          System Management

          System management is an important factor of carbon farming. It includes cropping systems for green manure, compost extracts, utilising livestock, and many other ways to help you manage soil organic carbon while creating a holistic approach with positive feedback loops.

          Conventional practices

          Conventional agriculture includes monoculture cropping, tilling, chemical pesticides, and more. These can have significant negative effects on the soil. Still, within these traditional practices, we’ve found eco-friendly solutions to increase organic carbon and lessen negative environmental impacts.

          Training and expertise

          With the experience and expertise of our team, together with the training they provide to landowners and farmers, crop yields and production can increase. For example, with DGB’s training, farmers can learn to increase their coffee yield per tree from 20 kg to 200 kg.

          Data Analysis

          Soil carbon rates increase due to biological processes and research assisted by analysing data. Our data analysis shows that these biological activities also improve root systems and help plants grow faster.
