Principios de cooperación

¿Cómo funciona?

Identificamos las oportunidades de su empresa

Reunámonos para averiguar qué posibilidades tiene su granja de pasarse a la agricultura regenerativa.

Le apoyaremos durante 5 años

Si la colaboración de la que hablamos tiene sentido para ti y para nosotros, firmaremos un contrato de 5 años. Durante este tiempo le proporcionaremos apoyo profesional gratuito: consultas individuales, formación y puesta en común dentro de la comunidad agrícola. Facilitaremos su transición gradual a la agricultura regenerativa.

Mediremos el aumento de carbono orgánico en el suelo

Le proporcionaremos un análisis de laboratorio inicial de los valores de carbono orgánico de sus muestras de suelo (Cox). Repetimos el análisis de las muestras de suelo y las mediciones de laboratorio durante un periodo de cinco años.

Le pagaremos una recompensa

Le pagaremos una recompensa por cada tonelada de CO₂ que elimine de la atmósfera y deposite en el suelo gracias a la agricultura regenerativa. La recompensa es directamente proporcional al aumento de la materia orgánica del suelo. Las mediciones se basan en el principio de la cantidad de dióxido de carbono. Si desea información más detallada, póngase en contacto con nosotros.

FAQ

Can I join the project if I have already seeded crops in the area?

Yes it is possible, but you need to incorporate principles into your system in the future that lead to the retention of as much organic matter/carbon in the soil as possible.

How much will my involvement in the project be affected if I have already applied the first chemical treatment to the land?

Involvement in our project is not affected by the application of plant protection products or fertilisers. However, there is an expectation that the frequency of application will decrease over time.

Can I add ash from incinerated biomass to the land?

Yes, you can. Just bear in mind that incorporating any material into the soil releases carbon previously stored there.

If you measure carbon and it decreases the next year, but I am managing according to your principles, what should I do next?

This situation should not arise. The increase in carbon depends on the number of principles you put in place, the more you put in place, the faster your soils will improve and the more carbon will increase.

What are the financial rewards funded from?

Financial rewards are being financed by large corporations in service industries that are trying to achieve carbon neutrality but are unable to get to zero with existing technologies. Typically these are various banks, IT companies, operators, etc. These are not direct stack CO2 emitters like power or heating plants, their emissions are regulated by emission permits.

What is the effect of using a cultivator and disk harrow on CO2 storage in the soil?

The use of both cultivators and disk harrows increases the mineralisation of carbon in the soil, which is released into the atmosphere as CO2. The more intensive the soil intervention, the more carbon is released.

Do you recommend ploughing in regenerative agriculture?

Regenerative agriculture uses minimal mechanical tillage, direct seeding techniques, strip-till, cover cropping and other practices. Any mechanical disturbance of the soil releases oxidisable carbon in the form of carbon dioxide. Additionally, any deeper mechanical disturbance of the soil will, among other things, disrupt the mycorrhizal fungi hyphae that live in symbiosis with the crop, thereby depriving the crop of the nutrients that the fungi could contribute.

How do I deal with soil compaction when the soil is not tilled in regenerative agriculture?

Replace mechanical soil disturbance with suitable mixtures of cover crops. Different cover crops affect the soil structure at different depths. For example, the roots of peas, vetches, oats, or cowpeas affect the top layers of the soil, broad beans or mung beans affect the middle layers, and it is mainly the Brassicas such as mustard, radish, or rapeseed that reach down to the depths of one metre or more. If the subsoil layer is compacted, the roots are able to grow through the cracks and tunnels left by earthworms to break up the layer. If the compacted layer is too thick, it is advisable to first break it up mechanically and then sow a deep-rooting cover crop such as alfalfa or purple clover. In this case, the cover crop should be left on the plot for at least 2-3 years. When selecting cover crops, it is advisable to form mixtures, the roots will then grow through the entire soil profile and, due to competition with each other, will also grow through the deeper soil layers.

Can I apply compost?

Applying compost is a suitable and recommended method to add organic matter and nutrients to your fields. However, take care to ensure the quality of the compost.

Won’t cover crops take up more water from the field than they can help capture when it rains? For example, alfalfa?

Cover crop roots dig deep into the soil, increasing its water-holding capacity to make better use of rainfall from heavy rains. In addition, soil rich in organic matter is able to retain a considerable amount of water, which plants can use for their growth even in drought conditions and then subsequently cool the surrounding landscape with their leaves via evapotranspiration. The soil covered by green plants is heated less and is protected from excessive evaporation and water loss.

Can I apply this principle to grazing exclusively with goats or sheep? Under what conditions?

Yes you can, you need to change to rotational managed grazing.
