Brazil, which ranks fifth in the ranking of the main polluters on the planet, with over 41% of agricultural land, finds in regenerative agriculture a new opportunity for the carbon credits market.
This modality combines sustainable practices in the field with intensive planting, generating benefits for both producers and the environment.
Regenerative agriculture stands out for promoting greater CO2 absorption of the atmosphere, contributing directly to the reduction of greenhouse gas and climate change.
The method has attracted the attention of multinationals and sustainable producers, who see in this practice a way to combine productivity and environmental preservation.
Credit Generation Potential
The agriculture system adds to two other modalities existing: the conservation of forests and protected areas, and reforestation.
With the extensive Brazilian agricultural area, companies have encouraged sustainable production and bet on the certification of these lands, aiming at the future generation of carbon credits.
The model already has significant results in other countries. In the United States, associated producers managed to raise more than $ 600,000 in credits with the 2024/2025 crop, expected to exceed 1 million credits in the 2025/2026 crop.
Regenerative practices focus on crops such as corn, soy and cotton, remunerating farmers who adopt methods that favor carbon sequestration in the soil. Experts point out that the Brazilian potential for credit generation in this model is expressive due to the size of national agriculture.
