What is carbon insetting?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Carbon insetting is a way for organisations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and\/or increase carbon sequestration within their own value chains or supply chains. It is becoming an increasingly popular way for organisations to address their Scope 3 emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carbon insetting can take different forms, but one common approach is for organisations to purchase carbon insetting credits from their suppliers \u2013 such as farms. In an agricultural supply chain, carbon insetting typically involves direct investment in farm-level interventions, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n How is carbon insetting different from carbon offsetting?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Carbon offsetting helps companies to compensate for their emissions by purchasing credits from projects external<\/strong> to their supply chain or value chain. For example, a tech company could offset its emissions by purchasing rainforest protection credits, even if they have no existing supply chain or value chain relationship with the rainforest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By contrast, carbon insetting focuses on achieving reductions or removals interventions within<\/strong> an organisation\u2019s supply chain or value chain. For example, a garment manufacturer could purchase carbon insetting credits from a cotton farm they already source cotton from. Carbon insetting shifts the focus to transforming supply and value chains for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is Regenagri\u2019s Insetting Standard?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Regenagri Insetting Standard is an international certification scheme for carbon insetting owned by Regenagri CIC. It enables both organisations and governments to acquire and claim credible Regenagri insetting units generated by farms and farming organisations in their very own supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once signed up to the Insetting Programme, Regenagri-certified farms and farming organisations generate insetting units as a result of implementing regenerative agriculture practices. These units are verified by approved third certification bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regenagri\u2019s Insetting Standard includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n What makes Regenagri\u2019s Insetting Standard innovative? The Regenagri insetting programme is integrated within the broader Regenagri certification programme. While the Regenagri Insetting Standard primarily focuses on carbon insetting units, the Regenagri certification schemes aim at monitoring and certifying of wider environmental benefits beyond carbon, such as soil health, water stewardship, biodiversity, and social resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In combination, Regenagri certification and insetting not only reduce emissions and sequester carbon \u2013 they deliver a whole set of measurable, data-backed benefits for landscapes, communities, and countries connected to the organisation\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Several features set Regenagri\u2019s Insetting Standard apart:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>As the first third-party regenerative certification programme which offers insetting as an additional service, Regenagri offers a holistic solution for reducing supply chain emissions. As opposed to offsetting approaches which often focus more on individual projects or interventions, Regenagri\u2019s approach emphasises holistic system change across the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
