Carbon Offsets
Generating permanent, sustainable and verified carbon credits through drip irrigated crops. A win-win for growers, carbon credit buyers and the planet.
Leading the Way in Climate-Adaptive Agricultural Solution
At Netafim, we are committed to advancing sustainable agricultural solutions that mitigate the effects of climate change and ensure global food security. Our goal is to help farmers adapt to changing conditions, minimize the impacts of climate instability, and sustain food production for present and future generations.
Our full range of climate solutions
Safeguarding our planet’s natural resources: water, air, soil.
Water Offsets
Monetizing water saving through investment in drip irrigated projects that guarantee significant and measurable reduction in water use in agriculture.
Circularity
Helping growers reduce the number of driplines that end up in landfills by collecting and recycling their end-of-life driplines and incorporating the regenerated material into new driplines.
Carbon Offsets
Generating permanent, sustainable and verified carbon credits through drip irrigated crops. A win-win for growers, carbon credit buyers and the planet.
What are carbon credits?
Companies are obligated to combat climate change by reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. However, many have reached a limit in how quickly they can decrease these emissions. To meet their emission goals, they must offset the emissions they cannot eliminate through other means. This is where carbon credits come into play, allowing businesses to invest in environmental projects to compensate for their remaining emissions.
Our Carbon Credit solution
Netafim leverages its experience and know-how to deliver efficient, reliable, verified and sustainable carbon credits through drip irrigated projects, that minimize emissions and drive a more sustainable agriculture Netafim carbon credit projects are verified by leading voluntary carbon markets program managers and the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program initiator.
Carbon Credits Powered by Drip Irrigated Rice
Rice is the world’s leading staple food spread over 165 million hectares worldwide. Rice, traditionally irrigated though paddy fields, also consumes 40% of the global irrigation water and is responsible for 12% of the global methane emissions. Drip irrigated rice uses 70% less water, diminishes methane emissions to almost zero, and reduces arsenic uptake by up to 90%.
The farmer
The farmer enjoys a double win; all the benefits of drip irrigation; higher and better quality yields, reduced use of water, fertilizers and labor and an additional revenue stream through the sale of carbon credits.
The buyer
Our dedicated team of advisors helps companies of all sizes reduce their carbon footprint from project initiation to carbon credit realization by offering full project development, matching projects with suitable growers, providing expert financing solutions, and utilizing cutting-edge technology.
The planet
The implementation of new drip irrigation projects helps to protect our planet’s natural resource, water, reduce contamination of groundwater and rivers and eliminate the release of greenhouse gases from paddy fields.
