FarmN is developing a carbon crediting methodology with the Gold StandardTM that will be aligned with the Paris Agreement’s long-term climate goals—a shift that meaningfully increases the value, credibility and market relevance of the credits generated under this approach.
At its core, Paris Agreement alignment means that methodologies must be designed to reflect the 1.5 °C decarbonisation trajectory, implement regulatory additionality (above and beyond existing laws and policies), use rigorous baselines, and apply robust quantification and monitoring standards. These changes ensure that emission reductions are not only real and measurable but also consistent with global climate objectives.
For FarmN’s customers, this evolution offers several key benefits:
1. Higher Market Integrity and Confidence
Paris-aligned methodologies are designed to meet rising expectations from independent bodies and regulators (such as SBTi, ICVCM and CORSIA). Credits certified under this framework are more likely to be viewed as credible and scientifically grounded climate action, reducing reputational risk for buyers.
2. Longer-Term Viability and Demand
Because the Paris alignment applies to vintages from 2026 onwards, credits issued from FarmN’s methodology will be structurally configured to remain eligible and valued across both voluntary and potentially evolving compliance markets. This reduces the risk of credits becoming outdated as carbon market rules tighten.
3. Better Alignment with Corporate Net-Zero Strategies
Companies increasingly need to demonstrate that their purchased carbon credits contribute to net-zero pathways aligned with national and global climate commitments. FarmN’s Paris-aligned credits will be more compatible with this demand, helping customers integrate purchased offsets into credible and defensible climate strategies.
4. Stronger Assurance of Real Impact
Methodological enhancements—like stricter baselines below business-as-usual scenarios and avoidance of technology lock-ins—raise the bar for what qualifies as a genuine emission reduction. This ensures customers are funding true additional impact rather than credits that merely reflect changes that would have occurred anyway.
In sum, FarmN’s work with Gold StandardTM positions its methodology at the forefront of evolving carbon market standards, offering customers carbon credits that are scientifically robust, market-resilient and aligned with the global climate agenda.
