          New Income Trend:
          Carbon Farming

          DGB creates accessible and cost-effective carbon projects while helping to establish a permanent and sustainable income system for landowners. Contact us to learn more about DGB and our carbon projects.

          What is carbon farming?

          Carbon farming is an agricultural method applied in various farms by storing atmospheric carbon in the soil, which helps transfer carbon to the ground of farmlands. CO2 is first absorbed from the air by plants through photosynthesis. It is then decomposed by roots and other parts and converted into soil carbon by microbes. This method stores the CO2 in the soil as organic matter, especially humus. Many of these practices are common in organic farming, regenerative farming, permaculture, and other approaches to food production.

          How does soil store carbon?

          Soil carbon sequestration is a process in which CO2 is removed from the atmosphere and stored as soil organic matter (SOM). This is a mixture of carbon compounds such as animal and plant tissue, microbes, bacteria and carbon from soil minerals. Both the soil and the plants benefit from this. Carbon-rich soil promotes plant growth which in turn increases the growth of produce.

          How much can I get paid?

          The exact amount depends on your land’s data and nature, but increasing the carbon in your soil is profitable. As a carbon farmer, you can create an additional income stream by selling carbon credits while also producing products that grow in carbon-rich soil.

          What Landowners Say

          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.

          We generate the carbon credits and document all the outputs of your land, thereby providing a new sustainable income system.

           
           

          Improve Your Soil & Land

          There are many creative ways to implement soil organic carbon. The opportunities are endless. You can discover new uses for soil organic carbon, depending on the costs, effects, and ecological reasons, among other factors. Here are some important points for how you can make the soil more productive with carbon farming:

          System Management

          System management is perhaps the one that comes as the most reasonable one. It includes cropping systems for green manure, compost extracts, utilizing livestock, and many other ways to help you manage soil organic carbon while creating a holistic approach with positive feedback loops. 

          Legumes and Perennials

          Legumes and perennials have also shown some great results. In fact, there is a pasture system that, when growing legumes on rotation, increases biomass production. 

          Conventional Practices

          Conventional agriculture includes monoculture cropping, tilling, chemical pesticides, and more. These can have significant negative sides on the soil. Still, within these traditional practices, we’ve found eco-friendly solutions, as they can increase the organic carbon and not affect the environment as much.

          Data Analysis

          If the biological work is done, then it is very likely for the soil carbon to be at a higher range than before the research and work. Our Data Analysis shows that these biological activities improve root systems and make plants grow faster.

          Carbon Farming Projects

          We’re currently developing five projects which expect to originate 16,900,000+ tonnes of CO2 credits during their lifetime.
