Agricultural farm (Czech Republic, Czech Republic)
Pochvalov, Czech Republic🇨🇿·Czech Republic
12 hectares of diversified crops in Pochvalov, Czech Republic, in regenerative transition with Gaïago since 2022.
The farm
This is a 12-hectare farm in Pochvalov, Czech Republic, cultivating diversified crops. The farm joined the Gaïago carbon programme in 2022 and is certified under ISO 14064-2. Nutrigeo biostimulant deployment aims to restore soil biological activity (bacteria, fungi, soil fauna) to recover lasting natural fertility. Initial 3-year field results show a sequestration rate of 13.4 tCO₂eq/ha/yr on the measured plots. To date, 484 tCO₂e have been measured during the first years of the programme, and a further 72 tCO₂e are estimated for the upcoming vintages, for a total credit volume of 556 tCO₂e.

Field results at year 3
Observed carbon sequestration measured on the plots after three cropping seasons.
MRV | How credits are measured
Every tonne of CO₂e issued is measured, reported, and verified under the certification standard's protocol.
ISO 14064-2
DNV
Annual monitoring · VVB verification under Gold Standard rules
Regrow (satellite dMRV) + field sampling
Soil sampling at the start and end of the crediting period, following Annex 3 of the FAO 2020 SOC MRV protocol authorised under GS SOC 402.3, complemented by Sentinel-2/Landsat satellite monitoring (dMRV via Regrow) and verification by an accredited third-party (VVB) under Gold Standard rules.
Co-benefits & Sustainable Development Goals
Beyond carbon sequestration, regenerative practices generate measurable benefits for soil, biodiversity, water, and rural livelihoods.
Livelier, better-structured soil richer in organic matter : the engine of long-term sequestration
SDG 13 · Climate ActionImproved water infiltration and retention in soils through regenerative practices
SDG 13 · Climate ActionNutrient-richer soils, more microorganisms and earthworms : yields secured or even improved
SDG 2 · Zero HungerGaïago support to de-risk the transition: initial diagnostic, annual monitoring, peer-to-peer practice sharing
