Standard Bank and Orizon Agriculture have introduced a new program in South Africa to help farmers earn income from carbon markets. The initiative allows farmers using regenerative practices to convert verified soil organic carbon increases and emission reductions into tradable carbon credits. By partnering with Orizon, Standard Bank clients can access the CarbonCrop Rewards Programme. This system handles the technical measurement and administrative verification of environmental outcomes, removing the complexity for farmers wanting to monetize their sustainable land management.
