Description
Local Circular Regenerative Agroforestry is a win-win-win-win way to sequester CO2, with high levels of CO2 sequestration and oxygen production. It rapidly sequesters carbon in biomass and the soil, but also uses little fossil fuel to do so, to make sure of this the farmer gets his fuel by bike, uses animals for most of the intense work and produces for his local market(max 20km away). Therefore this project is an ideal tool to attain the net-zero emissions goals and fit within the European Green Deal.
Local circular regenerative agroforestry creates water, holds water in the soil, prevents erosion and regenerates the soil. Trees only have to be planted once for the next 60 to 400 years.
The soil at Boer in Natuur has a high potential of storing carbon. The baseline soil samples show a low amount of Carbon. The nearby forest shows that it can increase significantly over time.
What makes this site unique is that it shows how it is possible to farm 20 hectares, produce 200 different products with minimal use of fossil fuels, improving the landscape and in this case create delicious muesli that comes from 1 farm instead of 20 countries. Buying our carbon removal credits will allow us to scale and continue this work.
Who is removing the carbon?
Boer in Natuur, with head office in Slabroek, The Netherlands
About the remover
Boer in Natuur, is one of the few agroforestry systems in the Netherlands and the only one that focusses on getting to as circular as possible on the farm.
