Summary
Klim facilitates the shift of farmers towards regenerative agriculture, leveraging a dedicated app to guide them in adopting sustainable practices for improved yields. Through the app, farmers document their progress, enabling Klim to issue carbon credits for these eco-friendly practices to companies aiming to reduce their carbon emissions. This process provides farmers with an additional income source. Klim distinguishes itself by fostering a community for knowledge exchange among farmers and focuses on "insetting" carbon within the supply chains of its food company clients, rather than merely offering generic carbon offsets.
