The platform also provides international certification for reduced emissions, allowing farmers to sell their green practices as carbon offsets or label their products to receive a market premium. Supported by EIT Food and the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, Carbon Harvesters serves dairy farmers looking to enhance sustainability and profitability. The business model revolves around subscription fees for the platform and commissions from the sale of carbon offsets.
