How farmers can reduce fertilizer use and sequester carbon

14 Mar 202518 Feb 2025 by InPlanet Team

Inflation and rising input costs have put increasing pressure on farmers worldwide. With fertilizer prices soaring and environmental concerns growing, many are seeking sustainable alternatives. Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) is emerging as a game-changing solution, offering a natural way to enrich soil, sustain high yields, and sequester carbon. By using this method, farmers can reduce fertilizer use and sequester carbon effectively. At InPlanet, our team of scientists, including Dr. Philipp Swoboda (Impact and Science Lead), Dr. Marcelo Santoro (ERW Regional Manager), and Dr. Mayra Maniero Rodrigues (MRV Researcher), is at the forefront of ERW research. Through extensive field trials, we … Read more

Winning with farmers to scale regenerative agriculture successfully

14 Mar 202514 Feb 2025 by InPlanet Team

Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is an important part of regenerative agriculture. Together they not only can change the way we live for the better by capturing carbon but can transform farming by improving soil health while increasing yields. However, this is only possible if farmers embrace these practices. Winning farmer trust and demonstrating clear benefits is key to scaling ERW successfully and seeing more farmers scaling regenerative agriculture. Farmers are directly responsible for implementing new methods on their land. Their willingness to adopt regenerative practices is crucial to the success of sustainability initiatives. Without their buy-in, even the best technologies … Read more
