KARBONMAT: Designing sustainable business model (SBM) concepts for carbon sequestration in soils to transform the Norwegian food system

Project: Research project

Project Details

Description

KARBONMAT aims to develop Sustainable Business Model (SBM) concepts for Norwegian agriculture that enable farmers to improve soil health, to store more carbon in their soils and Norwegian companies to invest in these to contribute to local sustainable food production and to reduce their climate footprint. A well-designed SBM concept for Norwegian agriculture can make carbon sequestration in soils economically viable for farmers whilst transforming the sustainability performance of the Norwegian food system by reducing net emissions, enhancing soil health, and sustaining future agricultural productivity.
