Orizon's CarbonCrop Programme

What the project does.

The Orizon CarbonCrop Rewards Programme supports South African farmers in transitioning towards regenerative agricultural practices that restore soil health, improve resilience, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Operating across cropland and grassland systems throughout South Africa, the programme incentivises farmers to adopt sustainable land management practices through access to carbon finance and technical support.

Participating farmers implement practices such as reduced tillage, improved grazing management, cover cropping, crop rotation, optimised fertiliser use, and improved water management. These approaches help increase soil organic carbon, reduce emissions, improve water retention, and strengthen long-term farm productivity.

The programme combines environmental restoration with direct economic support for farmers. Through advisory services, online tools, webinars, research partnerships, and ongoing knowledge sharing, the initiative helps farmers overcome financial and operational barriers associated with regenerative agriculture while creating measurable climate benefits.
