REGENERATING OUR LAND
We are launching an innovative pilot project together with strategic partners that aims to restore the soil's natural capabilities of absorbing CO₂ emissions.
CRUUUUUUNCHTHE STARTING POINT:
WORKING TOGETHER
To understand how we can help to regenerate the soil, we have started a pilot project with Indigo ag* and Svensk kolinlagring** that involves 14 farmers from Germany and Sweden.
*An ag-tech company dedicated to harnessing nature to help farmers sustainably feed the planet
**A not-for-profit entity that supports Swedish farmers to take on-farm measures to increase soil organic carbon
THE APPROACH:
REGENERATIVE PRACTICES
Since the crop of 2021 was planted we and our partners have worked together with the farmers engaged in the pilot project. The farmers applied techniques like plant cover crops, no-till farming, crop rotation and reduced fertilizer use with the aim to reduce CO₂ emissions and sequester carbon back into the soil. A plan for each farm was built considering their individual contexts and evolved over five years.
AN EXPLORATIVE AGRICULTURE PROJECT
This project’s purpose is to build knowledge about how regenerative farming impacts our carbon emissions, soil carbon sequestration and how the progress can be measured and verified.
NEXT PROJECT
OUR CO₂ SAVING PROJECTS
In 2021 we started a project together with farmers in our supply chains to develop best practices that help us to lower emissions more and more.
