Carbon Farming As A Service

We transition farmers to a low-emission economy and is essential for the agricultural and forestry industry to meet its carbon reduction targets in every given country

We monitor soil micro and macronutrients on a daily basis. Soil tests for farmers are delivered within a day. Every farmer requires to know the status of their soil, and water on a regular basis.

carbon farming — soil sampling through the carbon project life cycle

We use low-orbiting satellites to monitor the Agricultural and forest lands

Earth Observation of Agricultural landhttp://carbonyam.info

We capture carbon in the atmosphere from the land and sea forests

We transition farmers to regenerative practices

we calculate the amount of carbon the farm is likely to reduce over a period of 25 years. We provide upfront estimates of the $$$$ equivalent to being gained by the farmers.

What is Carbon Tax exactly?

The carbon tax is a new tax in response to climate change, which is aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a sustainable, cost-effective and affordable manner. Carbon Tax gives effect to the polluter-pays-principle and helps to ensure that firms and consumers take the negative adverse costs (externalities) of climate change into account in their future production, consumption, and investment decisions.

Who is the Carbon Tax for? Farmers included?

The Carbon Tax in South Africa is imposed on farmers that operate emissions generation facilities at a combined installed capacity equal to or above the carbon tax threshold.

How is the Carbon Tax liability calculated in South Africa?

The first phase has a carbon tax rate of R120 per ton of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions. This rate will increase annually by inflation plus 2 percent until 2022, and annually by inflation thereafter. Significant industry-specific tax-free emissions allowances ranging from 60 percent to 95 percent will result in a modest net carbon tax rate ranging from R6 to R48 per ton of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions to provide current emitters time to transition their operations to cleaner technologies through investments in energy efficiency, renewables, and other low-carbon measures.

NO POVERTY

More than 700 million people, or 10% of the world population, still live in extreme poverty. Surviving on less than US$1.90 a day.
Having a job does not guarantee a decent living. In fact, 8 percent of employed workers and their families worldwide lived in extreme poverty in 2018.
Globally, there are 122 women aged 25 to 34 living in extreme poverty for every 100 men of the same age group.
The majority of people living on less than $1.90 a day live in sub-Saharan Africa.
High poverty rates are often found in small, fragile, and conflict-affected countries.
Poverty affects children disproportionately. One out of five children live in extreme poverty.
As of 2018, 55% of the world’s population has no access to social protection.
In 2018, only 41% of women giving birth received maternity cash benefits.

DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

The global unemployment rate in 2017 was 5.6%, down from 6.4% in 2000.
Globally, 61% of all workers were engaged in informal employment in 2016. Excluding the agricultural sector, 51% of all workers fell into this employment category.
Men earn 12.5% more than women in 40 out of 45 countries with data.
The global gender pay gap stands at 23 percent globally and without decisive action, it will take another 68 years to achieve equal pay. Women’s labor force participation rate is 63 percent while that of men is 94 percent.
Despite their increasing presence in public life, women continue to do 2.6 times the unpaid care and domestic work that men do.
470 million jobs are needed globally for new entrants to the labor market between 2016 and 2030.

REDUCED INEQUALITIES

In 2016, over 64.4% of products exported by the least developed countries to world markets faced zero tariffs, an increase of 20% since 2010.
Evidence from developing countries shows that children in the poorest 20 percent of the population are still up to three times more likely to die before their fifth birthday than children in the richest quintiles.
Social protection has been significantly extended globally, yet persons with disabilities are up to five times more likely than average to incur catastrophic health expenditures.
Despite overall declines in maternal mortality in most developing countries, women in rural areas are still up to three times more likely to die while giving birth than women living in urban centers.
Up to 30 percent of income inequality is due to inequality within households, including between women and men. Women are also more likely than men to live below 50 percent of the median income
