Overview

Carbon impact

Klim’s Soil+ project removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by increasing soil organic carbon and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from farming activities. By adopting regenerative practices - such as reduced tillage, crop rotation, and organic amendments, farmers enhance soil’s ability to store carbon, addressing Germany’s 52.2 million metric tons of annual agricultural CO2 equivalent emissions.

The project targets CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide by optimizing fertilizer and pesticide use, as well as cutting fossil fuel consumption. A 25% buffer on removal credits guarantees permanence, while rigorous quantification using an advanced soil model and thourough calculations ensures accuracy. Annual verification and five-year baseline reassessments maintain alignment with evolving practices.

Beyond emissions reductions, the project improves soil health and resilience, creating a scalable model for climate mitigation across Europe.

Impact on local communities & environmental

Klim’s Soil+ project delivers financial, environmental, and climate resilience benefits for farming communities. Farmers receive upfront payments for 75% of the carbon they sequester, with the remaining 25% paid after five years if regenerative practices are maintained. This structure provides immediate financial relief while encouraging long-term sustainability.

The project’s digital platform fosters knowledge sharing, offering tools to simulate practices, track progress, and access expert advice - helping farmers overcome adoption barriers. Regenerative practices like minimal tillage and cover cropping restore soil health, improving water retention, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity. Healthier soils reduce erosion and degradation, ensuring long-term productivity.

Environmentally, the project enhances water quality by minimizing synthetic fertilizer and pesticide runoff, protecting aquatic ecosystems and human communities. Climate resilience is another key benefit: soils rich in organic carbon better withstand extreme weather, securing food production and stabilizing incomes. By lowering production costs and reducing reliance on synthetic inputs, Klim strengthens both individual farms and the broader rural economy, promoting sustainable livelihoods and ecological balance.

What is regenerative farming

Regenerative farming marks a transformative shift from conventional agriculture, moving away from short-term yield maximization toward long-term soil and ecosystem restoration. This approach is built on key principles: minimizing soil disturbance, keeping living roots in the soil year-round, and promoting biodiversity. Together, these practices rebuild soil organic matter, enhance water retention, and foster a resilient, balanced agricultural system.

By emulating natural ecosystems, regenerative farming integrates plants, animals, and microorganisms into a protected soil from erosion and enrich it with organic matter, while diverse crop rotations disrupt pest and disease cycles, reducing dependence on chemical inputs. When applicable, livestock integration further boosts soil fertility through manure and managed grazing, reinforcing the system’s sustainability.

Unlike conventional methods - which often deplete soil health and rely on synthetic inputs - regenerative farming creates a self-renewing system. It reduces input costs, improves long-term productivity, and aligns economic and environmental goals. This holistic focus on ecosystem health addresses critical agricultural challenges, including soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and climate change, while offering farmers a viable path to sustainable, resilient food production.

Regreener's Rating

Klim’s Soil+ project may not rely on tried and tested, high-tech carbon removal innovations, but its scalable, science-backed approach to regenerative agriculture makes it a cornerstone of the transition to net-zero agriculture. By incentivizing farmers to adopt practices that restore soil health and sequester carbon, the project addresses one of the most persistent and overlooked climate challenges: the degradation of agricultural soils, which are responsible for over 50 million tons of CO2e emissions annually in Germany alone. With a robust methodology aligned with ISO 14064-2:2018 and Verra VM0042 v2.0, Klim ensures that every ton of CO2 removed is measurable, permanent, and additional. The project’s 25% buffer pool further guarantees the integrity of its carbon credits, setting a standard for risk management in soil-based carbon projects. Beyond its direct climate impact, Soil+ delivers tangible co-benefits that align with global sustainability goals. It enhances biodiversity by revitalizing degraded soils, improves water quality by reducing agricultural runoff, and strengthens rural economies by providing farmers with upfront financial incentives and long-term agronomic support. The project’s digital platform and modular design make it adaptable and scalable across different geographies, ensuring that regenerative practices are not only adopted but sustained over time. For corporations and investors seeking high-integrity, high-impact climate solutions, Klim offers a low-risk, transformative opportunity - demonstrating that effective climate action doesn’t require disruption, but rather practical, farmer-centric innovation.
