Climate & Nature has been developed together with farmers and defines how sustainable cultivation can be implemented in practice, including through precisesod ingfryics, the use of fossil-free plant nutrients and efforts for biodiversity such as larch plots and flowering zones.  . Farmers who cultivate according to Climate & Nature are financially compensated for the measures they implement, which creates the conditions for both climate benefits and economic sustainability in the transition.

The programme has been developed to focus on emission reduction – not carbon offsetting. This means that Climate & Nature measures reduce emissions where they occur, in grain cultivation, rather than offsetting emissions through external compensation solutions.

Climate & Nature is a dynamic programme that is continuously developed in line with new research, technological development and practical experience from agriculture. Measures and criteria are gradually updated to ensure that the programme follows the pace of transition required to achieve climate neutrality in the long term.

Since its inception in 2015, the programme has contributed to significant emission reductions in cereal cultivation by phasing out the majority of fossil emissions linked to inputs and work steps on the farm. Going forward, the focus is on reducing biogenic emissions, such as nitrous oxide emissions from soil, and on developing criteria and methods for increased carbon sequestration.

Climate & Nature thus combines climate benefits, biodiversity and productivity in a coherent system that makes it possible to both transition and scale up agriculture
