One of the backbones of Agreena's Carbon Programme is the methodology we use to determine both a field's footprint and potential reductions resulting from a new harvest strategy.
Our methodology namely takes into account what type of crops is used on a specific field, whether it will disturb the soil, how much carbon or equivalent it can store, etc.
Our team of scientists continuously works on updating our methodology, and in the future, our programme will include even more crops.
Below you can find a list of the crops that can be enrolled in the programme.
Crop Types Currently Accepted in the Programme
Alfalfa | Lupine | Rapeseed |
Barley | Maize | Rye |
Bean (black, dry, fava, mung) | Millet | Sainfoin |
Beetroot | Miscanthus* | Sorghum |
Buckwheat | Mustard | Soybean |
Canola | Oats | Spinach |
Carrot | Onion | Spring barley |
Clover | Other grains | Spring wheat |
Cotton | Other legumes | Sugar beets |
Flax / Linseed | Other N-fixing forage | Sunflower |
Fodder Beet | Other Non-N-fixing forage | Triticale |
Grass-clover mix | Peas | Vetch |
Grass for silage | Perennial seed grass | Wheat, Durum |
Grazing field (non-perm.) | Phacelia | Willow* |
Hemp | Plain grass | Winter barley |
Lentil | Quinoa | Winter wheat |
*Please note that the cultivation of willow or miscanthus for more than 5 years prior to entering the programme has no earning potential.
Crop types are split into the type of harvest for example seed harvest, fodder harvest.
We are currently developing a methodology to include potatoes on our crop type list. This is going to be available for the harvest year 2023. If you plan to cultivate potatoes, please choose another crop type in "field strategy" in the meanwhile (the "potato" option will be available for "field actuals" '23). Please note that, as a result of carbon reversals due to the harvesting depth of potatoes, the earning potential for this crop type will be very limited.
