Helping Farmers

Unlock Carbon Credits

Through Regenerative Agriculture

 

Our goal is to help Ontario farmers earn extra income from carbon credits through regenerative farming practices (e.g., cover crops, no-tillage)

Our Pilot Study

 

We are Seeking Farmers for Regenerative Agriculture Research

Join our pilot study—get free soil testing and early access to explore future carbon credit opportunities

We’re recruiting grain farmers (corn, soy, rye) with sandy loam soils in Brant, Norfolk & Oxford Counties. You can help by sharing with us your current farm practices and providing a small test plot (10m x 10m) for us to implement simple, non-invasive regenerative practices​.

 

What’s Involved​

  • Free regenerative agriculture consultation and testing

  • Free soil health tests (e.g., SOC, soil nitrogen)

  • We cover all additional labour, equipment, and input costs

Ideal Participants

  • ​Grain farmers in Southern Ontario on sandy loam soil

  • New to regenerative practices/still considering them

  • Interested in improving soil health and sustainable farming

CarbFarm, founded in 2024 by three students at the Ivey School of Business at Western University, is on a mission to advance regenerative agriculture in Canada. We’re a group of students from different fields of study who care about the future of farming. Right now, we’re focused on finding the best regenerative practices that store more carbon and build healthier soil, so farmers can get more out of their land.

​

In our early stages, we partnered with Ivey’s Centre for Building Sustainable Value on a research project assessing regenerative agriculture practices. Today, we’re proud to be involved with the Morrissette Institute for Entrepreneurship and a startup in the Labs Batch 12 League of Innovators accelerator.

How Carbon Credits Work

Regenerative farming practices—like cover cropping, reduced tillage, and crop rotation—pull carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the soil. This process, called carbon sequestration, not only improves soil health but also generates carbon credits: verified reductions in greenhouse gas emissions that corporations and governments buy to offset their carbon footprints.

 
The Process

Farmers in our pilot will get first access to CarbFarm’s carbon credit marketplace (launching 2026).​

​

Adopt Regenerative Practices—We work with farmers to implement sustainable techniques that boost soil carbon storage.

​

Measure & Verify—Using soil sampling and remote sensing, we quantify carbon sequestration to ensure accuracy. Verify and receive credits through Verra’s Verified Carbon Standard.

​

Generate Credits—Once verified, these carbon reductions become sellable credits in carbon markets.

​

Earn Extra Income—Farmers receive payments for every credit sold, creating a new revenue stream while fighting climate change.
