The world urgently needs scalable climate solutions, and SEKEM is pioneering a new financial paradigm where regenerating nature becomes a source of prosperity. By monetizing the positive impacts of regenerative biodynamic agriculture, SEKEM demonstrates that restoring ecosystems is in tandem with creating economic opportunity.

This visionary approach is driven by the Carbon Footprint Center (CFC) at HeliopolisUniversity and the Egyptian Biodynamic Association (EBDA), transforming agriculture from an emissions source into a powerful climate mitigation force. Under the Economy of Love (EoL) Standard, the CFC measures the carbon sequestration and reduction achieved by regenerative farmers. Using advanced technology, they quantify reduced greenhouse gas emissions and CO₂ stored in healthy soil where the benefits are issued as carbon credits.

The result is a self-reinforcing, circular economic model. Businesses (within and beyond SEKEM) offset or inset their emissions by purchasing these credits, directly rewarding Egyptian farmers’ ecological stewardship. For farmers, this is a tangible financial incentive; for companies, it’s a trustworthy, measurable way to meet climate targets while investing in genuine, on-the-ground impact.

The momentum is undeniable: over 36k farmers are now part of this initiative, with a target of 40k by the end of 2025. By 2028, SEKEM, EBDA, and the CFC aim to reach a quarter of a million farmers, forming a national movement that will reshape Egypt’s agricultural landscape and contribute to global climate stability.

For companies everywhere, the path to carbon neutrality can start by investing in carbon credits and turning regeneration into your climate strategy. Click here to learn how.
