MRV | How credits are measured

Every tonne of CO₂e issued is measured, reported, and verified under the certification standard's protocol.

Methodology

SOC 402.3

MRV frequency

Annual

Monitoring tool

Regrow (satellite dMRV) + field sampling

Process

Sentinel-2/Landsat satellite monitoring via Regrow (dMRV) + regular soil sampling + independent annual third-party verification.

Co-benefits & Sustainable Development Goals

Beyond carbon sequestration, regenerative practices generate measurable benefits for soil, biodiversity, water, and rural livelihoods.

Carbon sequestration

Livelier, better-structured soil richer in organic matter : the engine of long-term sequestration

SDG 13 · Climate Action
Water management

Improved water infiltration and retention in soils through regenerative practices

SDG 13 · Climate Action
Nourishing soils & yields

Nutrient-richer soils, more microorganisms and earthworms : yields secured or even improved

SDG 2 · Zero Hunger
Agroecological transition

Gaïago support to de-risk the transition: initial diagnostic, annual monitoring, peer-to-peer practice sharing

SDG 4 · Quality Education
