Objectives
CARBOAGRI aims to create and offer agricultural companies a tool or model that allows them to certify the replacement of chemical fertilizers with organic amendments (such as fertilizer or other organic formulations that provide nutrients to the soil), including those from biodigestate, in order to facilitate compliance with existing regulations and the subsequent certification of carbon credits associated with this replacement, while promoting and encouraging the use of this type of fertilizer.
