Carbon credits seek to encourage farmers in our country to achieve more ecological and sustainable crops that are also more profitable for them, through correct carbon capture. To delve further into this topic, we have interviewed José Alfonso Mantas Ruiz, Country Business Manager of eAgronom.
eAgronom is an agricultural technology company that uses Artificial Intelligence and remote sensing technologies. Thanks to it, grain producers can make better and more profitable decisions since they will be able to monitor your crops in real time, having information from the fields, receiving automated reports, creating crop and yield plans, and generating schedules of agricultural activities.
In addition, the company’s consulting service offers advice on the construction of regenerative agricultural projects, which would allow farmers to receive income thanks to the generation and sale of carbon credits.
In this sense, eAgronom makes it possible to develop a practical carbon sequestration plan, which can help farmers turn this ecological work into a way to get early payments for your carbon credits. This can help them complete their finances, by having this other form of income.
To be eligible for these credits, the farmer only has to adopt a set of practicessuch as direct seeding, which improve the soil structure and help to better conserve nutrients and improve the soil’s water retention capacity.
