Carbon farming in Europe is gradually moving from the stage of regulations and concepts toward the real implementation of practices on the ground. Following the establishment of the European framework for the certification of carbon removals and carbon farming, the focus is increasingly shifting to how these mechanisms will function in practice and what value they will create for farmers. This transition marks an important shift – from policies to action. Carbon farming is emerging as a tool that connects sustainable
Two large-scale carbon farming projects are being launched in Bulgaria, covering both Northern and Southern regions of the country. The initiative aims to transform agricultural land into a long-term mechanism for carbon capture and storage, while creating new income opportunities for farmers through carbon credits. The projects focus on the implementation of regenerative agricultural practices that not only contribute to reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but also improve soil health, farm resilience, and overall economic performance. With a 40-year crediting period

Carbonsafe has been following this process from the very beginning and actively participated in the consultation by submitting an official expert position to the European Commission. For us, regulation is

With the development of carbon projects in agriculture and the growth of the voluntary carbon market, the term offtake—a pre-purchase or offtake agreement—is being used increasingly often. Although originating in the energy sector, this type of agreement is now gaining wider application in carbon credit markets, as it provides clarity and certainty from the early stages of a project. In simple terms, an offtake agreement is a contract under which a buyer commits in advance to purchase future carbon credits under
