- Project covers 1.6 million hectares across 10 European countries, reducing 1.2 million tonnes CO₂ and removing 1.1 million tonnes CO₂.
Agreena Reaches Key Milestone in Regenerative Agriculture
Agreena, a leader in the global transition to regenerative agriculture, announced that its AgreenaCarbon Project has achieved verification under Verra’s Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program, specifically the VM0042 Improved Agricultural Land Management v2.0 methodology. This makes it the first large-scale arable agriculture initiative in the world to earn this distinction.
Following its successful validation earlier in 2025, the verification confirms through independent assessment that the project has delivered measurable climate outcomes. With this milestone, Agreena is now issuing 2.3 million Verra-verified carbon credits, available for corporate buyers seeking high-integrity, nature-based solutions.
Statements from Leadership
Mandy Rambharos, Chief Executive Officer of Verra, stated:
“The AgreenaCarbon Project is extremely important because it demonstrates how soil carbon projects can scale. It spans vast areas of land across multiple countries in Europe – from Ukraine to Spain – showing the breadth and reach of its impact. By implementing VM0042 and ensuring the right protocols, we can guarantee the quality and integrity of the carbon credits generated. This gives us confidence that these projects truly have the ability to scale.”
Simon Haldrup, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Agreena, added:
“The verification of the AgreenaCarbon Project reaffirms Agreena as a leader in regenerative agriculture, proving that soil carbon sequestration can be measured, verified, and trusted at scale. This milestone empowers farmers – the true climate heroes – to adopt new practices through verified carbon credits, while giving corporate buyers the confidence to invest in meaningful climate action. Agreena is proud to be building the world’s largest verified supply of soil carbon credits, bringing the first large-scale wave of high-quality credits to market.”
Farmer Perspective
Oleksandr Mustipan, a farmer at Agrain Group of Companies, emphasized the project’s impact on operations:
“Working with Agreena has truly been a game-changer. It enabled us to scale up regenerative practices more quickly and effectively than I ever could have alone. The Verra verification is another clear proof point of the seriousness and credibility of the AgreenaCarbon Project, built on the highest international standards. As a farmer, it’s motivating to know that the work we do contributes to real climate impact and is part of a larger, meaningful effort.”
Project Scope and Impact
The AgreenaCarbon Project now spans 1.6 million hectares of regeneratively farmed land, engaging farmers across the UK, Denmark, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Bulgaria, and Spain. Through adoption of regenerative practices, participants have achieved reductions of 1.2 million tonnes of CO₂ and removals of 1.1 million tonnes of CO₂.
Following verification by Verra and an independent Validation/Verification Body (VVB), Agreena is issuing Verified Carbon Units (VCUs) from vintages 2021, 2022, and 2023. Corporate buyers, including the Radisson Hotel Group, have already pre-committed to a significant share of credits, with the remainder now available to the wider market.
Agreena Looking Ahead
By providing rigorously verified soil carbon credits, Agreena is helping corporations meet sustainability goals while enabling farmers to scale regenerative practices. The project underscores how agriculture can serve as both a climate solution and a driver of rural resilience.
Agreena
Agreena, headquartered in Denmark, operates Europe’s leading soil carbon program and supports the global shift to regenerative agriculture. The company partners with farmers managing 4.5 million hectares of cropland across 20 markets.
As the first large-scale cropland project under Verra’s Verified Carbon Standard, Agreena finances sustainability transitions, verifies climate impact at field level, and provides climate solutions for corporates. Its proprietary digital MRV system uses AI and satellite data to deliver scalable, ground-level insights.
