Standard Bank and Orizon have partnered to create a new income stream for farmers by implementing regenerative agriculture practices. The initiative allows farmers to earn carbon credits by improving soil health and capturing more carbon in the ground. This program aims to lower the financial barrier for farmers transitioning to sustainable land management. By linking banking services with carbon market access, the partnership provides a practical pathway for African farmers to monetize environmental stewardship.

Standard Bank and Orizon are teaming up to get farmers into the carbon market. It is basically a play to fund regenerative ag by turning soil carbon sequestration into a tradable asset.

The success here depends on the accounting standard they use. If the baseline for soil carbon is too loose, these credits won't hold up under scrutiny. I want to see the specific MRV protocol they are using.

Good to see the finance side moving, but I wonder about the actual scale. How many hectares are we talking about? A few pilot farms are one thing, but systemic change needs massive acreage.

The article mentions the partnership but is light on the total projected volume of credits. We need the actual numbers to know if this moves the needle or is just a PR win for the bank.
