Climate Action Project: Regenerative Agriculture in Czech Republic
Find out about how regenerative agriculture enhances soil health and captures carbon, offering a natural solution to limit global warming to 1.5ºC while restoring ecological balance.
Carbon dioxide removal is crucial for limiting global warming to 1.5ºC. One of the most promising solutions is regenerative agriculture - a method that enhances soil health while actively sequestering carbon. Discover how regenerative agriculture goes beyond conventional farming, working with nature to restore ecological balance.
The need for regenerative agriculture
As climate change intensifies, sustainable solutions are more urgent than ever. Regenerative agriculture, inspired by ancient farming practices, provides a powerful way to remove carbon and mitigate climate change. By restoring soil health and embracing nature-friendly techniques, this approach offers a resilient path forward.
The climate action project in Czech Republic
In the Czech Republic, a climate action project is harnessing the potential of regenerative agriculture to combat climate change. This initiative focuses on restoring degraded soils, enhancing biodiversity, and implementing sustainable farming practices to sequester carbon. By working closely with local farmers and communities, the project promotes techniques such as cover cropping, reduced tillage, and organic composting to enrich soil health. These efforts not only improve food production and ecosystem resilience but also contribute to long-term carbon removal and climate mitigation strategies.
Key benefits
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is vital for soil health and carbon sequestration. Restoring degraded soils through regenerative agriculture can significantly boost SOC levels, removing CO2 from the atmosphere. Healthy soils store more CO2 than the atmosphere and vegetation combined, with the potential to sequester up to 5 billion tonnes of CO2 annually. Strengthening the relationship between plants and soil organisms enhances soil fertility and carbon storage capacity.
The future of regenerative agriculture
Regenerative agriculture methodologies are still evolving, but they are paving the way for scalable carbon removal solutions. These efforts align with the Paris Agreement, laying a foundation for impactful, long-term climate action.
Our climate action impact
We’ve been supporting positive change through reforestation and carbon reduction projects around the world, in partnership with Ecologi. To date, we have planted 24,203 trees, which help restore vital ecosystems, and prevented 321.92 tonnes of CO2e from entering the atmosphere. In addition, we’ve removed 27 tonnes of CO2e, contributing directly to a reduction in carbon levels, and restored 44.44m2 of habitat to support local biodiversity. These efforts are a part of our ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability, and together, we’re taking meaningful steps toward a healthier planet and a more sustainable future.
