Your land. Your income.
Six proven practices that turn African farmland and forests into verified carbon credits — and a steady income for your community.
How carbon credit estimation works
Credits are calculated from the difference between a baseline (what happens without your project) and actual CO₂ sequestered. Verifiers use satellite imagery, soil tests, and biomass measurements. Ranges below are conservative — your verifier confirms the exact amount at no cost to you.
Agroforestry
Integrate trees into farmland to sequester carbon while improving yields. Native species like acacia and moringa provide shade, nitrogen-fixing, and fruit income.
- 1Plant native trees between crops
- 2Maintain 30–50% canopy cover
- 3Document tree count and species
- 4Submit annual photo evidence
No-Till Farming
Avoiding tillage keeps carbon locked in soil organic matter. Combined with cover crops, this can double soil carbon over 5 years.
- 1Use direct seeding instead of plowing
- 2Plant cover crops in off-season
- 3Rotate crops to maintain soil health
- 4Test soil carbon annually
Wetland & Mangrove Restoration
Mangroves and wetlands are among the highest carbon-density ecosystems on Earth. Restoring even 1 hectare earns premium blue carbon credits.
- 1Map degraded wetland areas
- 2Replant native mangrove species
- 3Control invasive species
- 4Monitor water levels and biomass
Savanna Management
Controlled burns and rotational grazing prevent carbon-releasing wildfires and allow savanna grasses to build deep root carbon stores.
- 1Implement rotational grazing
- 2Conduct controlled early-season burns
- 3Remove invasive shrubs
- 4Monitor grass cover and density
Biochar Production
Converting agricultural waste into biochar and applying it to soil permanently stores carbon and improves fertility for generations.
- 1Collect crop residues and wood waste
- 2Produce biochar using low-emission kiln
- 3Apply biochar to farmland
- 4Record application rates and location
Community Forest Management
Formalizing community protection of existing forests prevents deforestation — REDD+ credits. The most scalable approach for large communities.
- 1Map community forest boundaries
- 2Establish forest governance rules
- 3Monitor forest cover with satellite data
- 4Register on Kabon.Africa
