How We Deliver

Our five-step implementation cycle ensures accountability, quality and learning at every stage.

1
Farmer Registration & Baseline

Biochar and agroforestry farmers are registered with GPS coordinates. Baseline soil carbon and farm tree cover recorded.

2
Training & Equipment

Farmers trained in kiln operation, safe pyrolysis, tree planting and carbon record keeping. Kilns or saplings provided.

3
Season-Long Monitoring

Production volumes, kiln logs and tree survival rates monitored digitally by trained field staff each season.

4
Annual Verification

Independent verifiers audit a sample of climate farms against Verra VCS methodology each year.

5
Carbon Credit Issuance

Verified removals converted to carbon credits. Proceeds shared with contributing farmers per agreed formula.
