Climate Impact & Carbon Removal

At ECOTOP, we provide practical and science-backed solutions to address Scope 3 emissions, enhance farm productivity, and regenerate agricultural landscapes.

Our carbon insetting approach integrates Dynamic Agroforestry Systems (DAF) to deliver measurable carbon removals while strengthening supply chain sustainability.

Our offer: Sequestering carbon, regeneratíng landscapes

We deliver end-to-end carbon insetting solutions—from baseline assessment to tailored program design, precise CO2 quantification, and locally adapted implementation—to maximize carbon sequestration and supply chain impact.

Baseline Assessment

We analyze current land use, carbon stocks, and the potential for carbon sequestration. This foundational step ensures a clear understanding of the project’s starting point and helps design effective strategies.

Project Design

We develop tailored insetting programs aligned with methodologies recognized by the GHG Protocol and SBTi. These programs are customized to meet the unique needs of each supply chain and its stakeholders.

Ex-Ante CO2 Quantification

Using precise calculations, we estimate the carbon sequestration potential of DAF, expressed in CO2 equivalents. This provides clear targets and benchmarks for project success.

Implementation

We establish high-performing DAFs adapted to local contexts. By fostering high-density, diverse plantings and leveraging ecological processes, these systems achieve optimal carbon sequestration and agricultural productivity.

Dynamic Agroforestry for Superior Carbon Capture

DAF systems are at the heart of our approach, delivering carbon sequestration rates of 8 to 16 t CO2/ha per year, depending on the context. This system

  • Creates multi-strata canopies with diverse biomass trees.
  • Uses pruning residues to enrich soils, boost fertility, and enhance long-term productivity.
  • Fosters ecosystem regeneration, improving biodiversity and water cycles.

Since 2021, ECOTOP has been instrumental in training our field agents and farmers in Dynamic Agroforestry through hands-on, practical, and theoretical support. Their approach has successfully built skills and conviction in adopting DAF practices, making them a highly valued and recommended partner.
