First meeting for Agreena’s Ambassador farmers
First meeting for Agreena’s Ambassador farmers
Agreena has kicked off its Ambassador Programme with a meeting of AgreenaCarbon farmers at its Copenhagen headquarters.
More than 20 regenerative farmers from eight countries came together to share their knowledge and expertise in order to inform the development of Agreena’s Ambassador Programme. The programme aims to create a community of farmers to facilitate knowledge transfer and inspire others to pursue regenerative farming.
“One of the keys to unlocking widespread adoption of regenerative agriculture lies in farmers inspiring other farmers, and helping each other navigate this transition. That’s the bedrock of this programme. It’s about ensuring best practice and learnings are shared among these pioneers and leaders, ultimately driving a broader transition within the agricultural community,” said Simon Haldrup, CEO of Agreena. “We were thrilled to provide an opportunity for like-minded pioneer regenerative farmers to meet each other and share their journey, motivations and outlook on the present and future of regenerative on-farm and beyond.”
Agreena leverages finance and technology to support farmers to transition to regenerative agriculture and farmers sit at the heart of the business. The company plans to work hand in hand with its Ambassador farmers to drive the expansion of its regenerative solutions together and build a regenerative farming movement.
This first event provided opportunities for Ambassador farmers to engage with each other, as well as to attend a panel discussion on carbon markets featuring external experts, and participate in workshops.

Press Release: Al Dahra and Agreena announce carbon farming project on the EU’s largest arable farm at COP28
PRESS RELEASE
Al Dahra and Agreena announce carbon farming project on the EU’s largest arable farm at COP28
- The 55,000 hectare project will take place on the largest consolidated arable farm in the European Union, operated by Al Dahra-owned Agricost
- The farm is also the largest to join Agreena’s leading soil carbon programme, which now covers two million hectares of agricultural land in 17 European countries
Dubai, United Arab Emirates - 12 December 2023:
A partnership between UAE agribusiness, Al Dahra, and Danish climate agtech company, Agreena, will see the largest consolidated arable farm in the European Union transition to regenerative agriculture. More than 55,000 hectares of arable land on the Al Dahra-owned Agricost farm on Great Braila Island in Romania will enter Agreena’s soil carbon programme.
The two global players signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Sunday 10 December at COP28, signifying a pivotal partnership between Al Dahra and Agreena that will unite their strengths and expertise to collaborate globally.
The agricultural industry is in a unique position to play a critical role in sequestering carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. The agrifood system accounts for approximately one-third of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but the agricultural industry also provides a significant opportunity to be a part of the climate solution. By incentivising farmers to transition from conventional to regenerative farming practices, Agreena supports farmers to turn their soils into carbon sinks, removing and storing CO2 from the atmosphere.
“Sustainability is a core value and a commercially compelling driver for Al Dahra, and this project represents a major step in our ongoing journey. Transitioning our Braila farm, working with partners like Agreena, unlocks the financial and environmental benefits of regenerative agriculture. This enables us to contribute meaningfully to sustainably feeding our growing world, while also enhancing our business resilience and profitability. We view this as a significant milestone, and we are committed to expanding our regenerative agriculture footprint at every opportunity,” said Al Dahra Group CEO, Arnoud van den Berg.
As part of the programme, the Romanian farm will undertake a range of regenerative agriculture practices, such as optimal use of cover crops and reduced soil disturbance, moving away from conventional farming practices that are traditionally associated with row crops. Agreena’s internationally accredited and third-party validated programme quantifies the farm’s greenhouse gas reductions and CO2 removals using an IPCC-aligned scientific methodology and a robust measurement, reporting, and verification protocol with cutting-edge technology. The result is the issuance of high-integrity carbon removal credits under the world’s largest voluntary carbon market standard, which can support the financing of the regenerative transition.
“Agreena is proud to be working with Al Dahra to achieve the transition of the EU’s largest consolidated farm to regenerative agriculture. Nature-based solutions, including regenerative agriculture, are among the most effective for mitigating climate change by 2030 and this project demonstrates that the private sector is working to deliver impact at scale,” said Simon Haldrup, CEO of Agreena. “With this carbon farming project, we’re sowing the seeds of sustainable change in agriculture across Europe.”
The project will be Agreena’s largest to date, further underlining the company’s leading position in European carbon farming following its recent announcement that two million hectares have been contracted on its AgreenaCarbon programme.

Press Release: Agtech Agreena scales its carbon farming platform across two million hectares
PRESS RELEASE
AGTECH AGREENA SCALES ITS CARBON FARMING PLATFORM ACROSS TWO MILLION HECTARES
- Agreena registers two million hectares of European farmland on its pioneering soil carbon platform - an area the size of Slovenia
- More than 1,000 farmers across 17 countries have now joined AgreenaCarbon - transitioning from conventional farming to regenerative agriculture
- Agreena’s ability to scale soil carbon removals has been supported through the use of cutting-edge remote sensing technology coupled with machine learning
Copenhagen, Denmark – 16 November 2023:
Agtech company, Agreena, has confirmed its leading position in Europe with today’s announcement that its pioneering soil carbon platform now covers two million hectares across 17 European countries. The company launched AgreenaCarbon to financially support farmers’ transition to regenerative agriculture, enabling them to take an active role in addressing the climate crisis by removing carbon from the atmosphere and storing it in their soils.
The magnitude of the two million hectares of farmland converted to regenerative farming practices with Agreena is equivalent to the size of Slovenia, or 2.8 million European football fields. More than a thousand farmers are now using the AgreenaCarbon platform demonstrating the potential for technology to support a shift in agricultural practices and farmers’ efforts to mitigate climate change.
“Carbon sequestration in agriculture is one of the top solutions to scale climate action according to the IPCC, but it can involve high upfront costs for farmers. Agreena leverages cutting-edge science and technology to convert climate-friendly farming efforts into high-quality carbon removal credits, delivering vital additional revenue to farmers,” said Julie Koch Fahler, co-founder and COO of Agreena.
The company’s scalable impact is supported by its innovative techstack. In 2022, Agreena acquired cutting-edge measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) technology for regenerative agriculture practices, using remote sensing and AI to further build out its capabilities. Coupling soil sampling and ground-truth field data with advanced machine-learning and computer vision techniques, the company is building out soil carbon intelligence at scale.
“Accurate, faster, and more transparent than manual farm audits, digital MRV solutions ensure that carbon farming programmes can scale effectively,” says Fahler, adding that the company is uniquely positioned to continuously monitor and track what is going on at the field-level to provide an extra level of trust and credibility for carbon credit buyers.
To ensure integrity, data review and field inspections are undertaken by an independent third-party Validation and Verification Body prior to issuing credits for sale in the voluntary carbon market. This confirms that emission reductions and carbon removals have taken place, strengthening the quality of the carbon credits and their role as a viable solution on the path to net zero.

Press Release: Farmers Invited to Join Growing Carbon Farming Movement for Upcoming Harvest Year
PRESS RELEASE
FARMERS INVITED TO JOIN GROWING CARBON FARMING MOVEMENT FOR UPCOMING HARVEST YEAR
Farmers can access a new revenue stream by adopting regenerative practices
Copenhagen, Denmark – 19 October 2023: Leading agtech company Agreena, is inviting European farmers to enter its soil carbon programme for harvest year 2024. AgreenaCarbon, Europe’s largest soil carbon platform, helps farmers finance their transition to regenerative practices and is now opening its fourth year.
More than one million hectares have been registered with the programme and AgreenaCarbon has already paid farmers more than EU6 million, with farmers earning at least EU32 per carbon certificate from their regenerative farming practices.
“Through regenerative practices — such as no-till, min-till, and the growing of cover crops — farmers can play a key role in the delivery of climate mitigation services and have an extremely powerful seat at the climate change table. Farmers need to be financially rewarded for providing these vital services and AgreenaCarbon does just that,” said Niels Vittrup, Commercial Director at Agreena.
Farmers in the programme agree to undertake a range of measures, such as optimal use of cover crops and reduced soil disturbance. Agreena’s internationally accredited and third-party validated programme quantifies the farm’s greenhouse gas reductions and carbon removals and issues the verified CO2e certificates. Farmers can keep the certificates, trade them on the voluntary carbon market (VCM), or let Agreena sell them on their behalf. An early payout option is also available for farmers, with funding provided by Agreena before certificates are issued.
Farmers are facing unprecedented challenges, including economic and political uncertainty and changing weather patterns. AgreenaCarbon provides a vital additional income for farmers, ensuring their businesses are both profitable and environmentally sustainable.
Agreena’s carbon certificates follow an IPCC-aligned rigorous scientific methodology and the world’s leading certification standards for ensuring carbon is removed. The company’s leading remote sensing MRV technology allows it to continuously monitor, verify and report on-farm practices and outcomes.
The integrity of Agreena’s approach to carbon farming was a significant factor in encouraging UK farmer, John Miller, to join the programme:
“One of the main reasons I joined the Agreena soil carbon programme in 2021 was that it was the only company that I thought was credible and whose carbon certificates would actually provide me with an additional revenue at the end of harvest,” said Miller. “This is key as the voluntary carbon market continues to grow and evolve and I have complete confidence that Agreena will maintain its leadership position in this marketplace,” added Miller.

Press Release: Agreena Wraps Second Carbon Farming Harvest Year and Annual Payout to Farmers
PRESS RELEASE
AGREENA’S FARMER PAYOUT FOR A SECOND HARVEST YEAR DEMONSTRATES THAT CARBON CERTIFICATES HELP FUND AND EXPEDITE FARMERS’ TRANSITION TO REGENERATIVE PRACTICES
Farmer participation grew 4x for HY 2022 while increased farmland enrollment by existing members accounted for 20% of Agreena’s overall portfolio growth
(14 June 2023) Copenhagen, Denmark – Agtech company Agreena, whose soil carbon platform is the largest in Europe operating in 16 countries and developed to help farmers finance their transition to regenerative practices, today announced the results of its second harvest year (HY) and second annual early payout to participating European farmers. The number of hectares enrolled grew 10X over the previous year and farmer participation increased 4X. Agreena is paying the largest incentives to farmers under a soil carbon scheme to-date at €32 to €36 per anticipated carbon certificate generated depending on region, an increase of up to 45% from last year. The company is a pioneer in creating nature-based soil carbon removals. The associated certificates will soon be available on the market for companies that want to participate in the transition of the world’s farmers to practices that help address climate change, biodiversity loss and the future of food security.
While carbon sequestration in agriculture has been identified as one of the top solutions to scale climate action because of its accessibility and the immediate impact it can have, the primary hurdle to adoption is the high upfront costs for farmers. By leveraging the voluntary carbon market (VCM) to convert climate-friendly farming efforts into high-quality carbon certificates, Agreena is driving a new revenue stream to the farmer. Farmers are seeing the benefit too. Twenty percent of the year-on-year hectare growth in Agreena’s portfolio came from member farmers adding more land to the program.
“Agreena is introducing a new category of carbon certificates into the market and it will take time to build and scale, but farmers cannot wait - they need a reliable and liquid payment to help cover their transition efforts,” said Simon Haldrup, CEO of Agreena. “That is why Agreena takes a calculated risk and pays farmers each harvest year. Still, carbon certificates are just one part of the solution and a mix of incentives is needed to rapidly transition the world’s farmers to regenerative practices.”
Farmers and the companies that rely on carbon certificates for their ESG and sustainability efforts are on different timelines. Sales of credits can take a year or longer to occur after the impact has been certified. Agreena’s early payout option for farmers bridges the gap between the two. Farmers enrolled in Agreena’s program get to decide how they’d like to use the certificates that they generate, and one of those options is to be paid soon after the harvest year ends to help cover their upfront costs. The early payout is based on market prices at the time. Growth of the Voluntary Carbon Market and pricing for high-quality carbon certificates continue to grow, any upside when Agreena’s certificates are sold is shared with the farmer.
Agreena’s carbon certificates are the result of farmers taking measures to sequester additional carbon from the atmosphere within their soils and at the same time reduce their own emissions through practices like no till. The company has developed a highly credible programme that is in alignment with the latest IPCC science and the recognised principles of the VCM, and built relationships with agricultural partners and farmers across Europe.
More recently Agreena has developed its corporate unit that oversees certificate sales, and MRV and risk solutions. Agreena works with certificate buyers to tailor, structure and scale portfolios from across the company’s inventory, modelled after assets already sold and traded in traditional financial markets.
“Our first vintage of high quality carbon certificates originates from farmers in Central Europe and has just been made available for a limited quantity presale,” said Frederik Aagaard, Agreena’s Director of Carbon Markets. “We’re delighted to be able to facilitate the participation of companies in helping finance this journey for farmers.”
The deadline for enrolling in Agreena’s 2023 programme is quickly approaching. Farmers have until June 30 to enter this year’s harvest, and can calculate their earning potential and apply by completing this form on Agreena’s website. More information about the programme and how it works can be found here.
Agreena anticipates that as the VCM continues to grow and evolve, the market will see continued developments related to certification and new standards in the space. Agreena’s portfolio of GHG reduction and carbon removal certificates are accredited to the ISO 14064-2 standard and are currently undergoing Verra VCS certification. The outcome is anticipated before the end of the year.
