Farms4Climate Partners Gather in Egypt to Present Digital Solutions for Carbon Farming

By The AIR Institute

Last week, Farms4Climate project partners convened in Cairo, Egypt, to showcase innovative digital solutions for Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) in carbon farming. Over two days, experts, researchers, and key organisation representatives explored the potential of these tools in advancing more sustainable agricultural practices.

Hosted by SEKEM, the event welcomed participants from Heliopolis University, Agreenment, ICARDA, SQLI, IFOAM, INRGREF, UCSC, AIR Institute, and members of the Advisory Board.

The first day focused on MRV in carbon farming, highlighting advanced tools and systems designed to enhance sustainability, facilitate data-driven farming, and standardise reporting methods.

A key discussion centred on developing standardised reports, ensuring data integrity, and improving interoperability. Participants emphasised the importance of seamless connectivity between MRV platforms and existing farm management systems to optimise efficiency and encourage widespread adoption.

The second day featured direct engagement with farmers from the Farms4Climate Living Labs, who shared their experiences in implementing regenerative farming practices.

Through their insights, attendees gained first-hand understanding of the challenges, benefits, and tangible impact of these strategies on soil health, carbon sequestration, and agricultural resilience. This interactive session fostered meaningful dialogue between partners and farmers, promoting the co-creation of practical, scalable solutions for sustainable agriculture.
