AgroReGenerations provides smallholder farmers with a transparent, community‑based system that converts biochar production into verified soil carbon credits. By linking farm‑level biochar sequestration to a verification‑to‑buyer workflow, the platform creates short‑cycle, high‑yield carbon revenue streams that can be monetized on global markets. Pilots are active in Kenya and Indonesia, enabling farmers to generate additional income while improving soil health and livelihoods.

Problem
Smallholder farmers often lack affordable tools, training, and market channels to convert agricultural waste into value‑added products, limiting their ability to generate additional income and improve soil health. Without transparent verification, carbon credits from biochar sequestration can be difficult to sell, restricting access to carbon revenue for these farmers.
Solution
AgroReGenerations (ARG) offers a digital platform that equips smallholder farmers with the equipment and knowledge needed to produce high‑yield biochar from crop residues. The platform guides farmers through a standardized workflow: biochar production, on‑farm carbon sequestration measurement, third‑party verification, and connection to carbon credit buyers. Verified biochar‑to‑soil carbon credits are issued through a transparent, community‑based system, enabling short‑cycle carbon revenue streams. By linking verified sequestration data to a marketplace, ARG helps farmers monetize carbon removal while enhancing soil fertility and farm resilience. Pilot projects in Kenya and Indonesia demonstrate the model’s scalability across diverse biomes.
Target Audience
Primary customers are smallholder farming collectives and cooperatives in developing regions seeking supplemental income and soil health improvements, as well as carbon credit purchasers looking for verified, community‑sourced offsets.
