Imagine soil as a bank account where carbon is the currency. Most farmers only look at the immediate harvest, but this project helps them find ways to make money by improving the soil's long-term health. It creates a guide to help businesses and landowners turn healthy dirt into a steady stream of income through new markets and certifications.
Farmers often prioritize short-term income over long-term soil health due to financial constraints. There is a lack of clear, actionable business models that make soil carbon sequestration profitable.
A toolbox for evaluating soil health business models and a portfolio of 13 case studies demonstrating successful soil management and product development.
If you are a trading firm dealing with the complexity of verifying carbon stocks — this project developed a toolbox that categorizes business models for carbon sequestration. This helps in identifying viable revenue streams for healthy soils.
If you are a producer dealing with high costs of sustainable transitions — this project developed a portfolio of 13 case studies. These examples show how to link soil health to better crop quality and new product markets.
If you are a consultant dealing with the EU Taxonomy Regulation — this project developed a tool to align soil management with these specific rules. This ensures clients meet sustainable soil management standards.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not provided, but the project addresses financial limitations and resource constraints that hinder farmers.
The project analyzes global models and 13 case studies to identify scalable incentives and revenue streams for healthy soils across different climatic conditions.
Based on available project data, the project focuses on creating a toolbox of best practices and a portfolio of business cases rather than a patented technology.
The toolbox specifically includes a category for sustainable soil management in the context of the EU Taxonomy Regulation.
The project period runs from 2022-11-01 to 2025-10-31, indicating the final results will be ready by late 2025.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward academic research with 8 universities and 2 research institutes, representing a strong theoretical base. However, the inclusion of 2 SMEs and 4 other organizations across 10 countries ensures a practical bridge to the market, though the industrial ratio is relatively low at 12%.
