We farm approximately 108 acres. The farm is mostly permanent pasture, and we also have just over 16 acres of woodland (a 50/50 split of old established natural woodland and a new area of trees planted in 2008). There are almost 4km of hedgerows on the farm, most of which are very large (3m+ high and of a similar width). These are all old hedgerows that have existed for many years, although they&rsquo;ve been allowed to grow out much more in the last 10-15 years, since we entered the farm into stewardship.
We have a small suckler herd of approximately 20 adult cows, plus a bull and a few replacements. These are calved in the spring and the calves are currently sold the following spring as yearlings. The herd is made up of purebred Simmental cattle, some of whom are pedigree registered. We also have several domestic horses and ponies.&nbsp;
We&rsquo;ve owned the bulk of the farm since the late 1980s when it was acquired by my father as a "pick your own" fruit farm, hence the name. But this activity was discontinued well over 20 years ago. One 20 acre field is let from a large landowning family and has been on the same tenancy agreement since 1997.&nbsp;
We don't use any chemical fertilisers or sprays on the farm and haven&rsquo;t done so in well over 15 years.

A summary of emissions from carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide for the whole farm and per enterprise is presented below. Total emissions are also
expressed per unit of output, per hectare and per livestock unit equivalent to allow comparisons to be made. Per unit of output is the most common way to
express emissions associated with the production of food products.

The farm is situated in the outskirts of the village Briyastovo, near Nova Zagora in Bulgaria.
Ivan and Neli have been farming all of their lives. Both of them come from farming families and when they got married, they united the family farms and kept working on them.
The farm is slightly outside of the village of Briyastovo, where they live, but they attend to it like their own child.
They usually grow wheat, barley, sunflowers and rapeseed, due to the nature of the soil and compatibility with the area&rsquo;s common farming practices. In the seasons when they sow spring wheat, they&rsquo;ll follow this with a different crop so they don&rsquo;t exhaust the soil. In addition, the crop rotation helps with the natural fight against bugs and other field animals that eat the seeds and impact the quality of the produce.&nbsp;
Each year, 5% of the land is rotated and not farmed, which allows the soil to rest and &ldquo;take a breath&rdquo;.
When it comes to irrigation, as with many Buglarian farmer, they rely on the rain, but luckily right next door is a natural irrigation canal coming from the nearby lake, so they use that when and if needed.
Fertilisation happens only with biofertilisers, the amount of which is precisely calculated. There is a precise calculation as to how much fertiliser is needed per kilogram.

Domaine Coquerel is a family-owned distillery in Normandy, France that&rsquo;s been producing&nbsp;Calvados since 1937. Today they produce world famous alcohol brands including Calvados&nbsp;Coquerel, the planet positive brand Avallen, and their own Normindia gin.
&nbsp; The distillery owns 2.54 hectares of traditional apple orchards consisting of just over 400&nbsp;trees that are protected under the strict rules of the Calvados AOC. These rules prevent&nbsp;artificial irrigation, protect strong biodiversity within the orchards (particularly the Osmia&nbsp;Cornuta bee), mandate multiple species of apples in a single orchard, and limit intensive&nbsp;practices such as grass cutting.
In addition to this they don&rsquo;t use fertilisers or pesticides in their&nbsp;orchards. Each orchard is surrounded by hedgerows that are teeming with life.
The owners believe the traditional orchards of Normandy have a vital role to play in the future of the drinks industry as climate positive, biodiverse, water frugal, and pesticide free&nbsp;agroforestry producing delicious raw materials for the drinks we enjoy around the world.

The farm is situated near the village of Omarchevo, near Nova Zagora in Bulgaria. In Tihomir&rsquo;s own words:
&ldquo;My farm has been owned by my family for 3 generations. Over the years, it&rsquo;s been used to produce various types of crops."
&ldquo;My great-grandparents used to grow vegetables, such as potatoes, cabbage, peppers, cucumbers and onions, for their own use. They would always fertilise with manure and never used any pesticide. Permaculture has always been part of how we farm. "
Today, the farm produces wheat, sunflowers, rapeseed and barley - and, occasionally, other crops that don&rsquo;t require watering. They rely on the rain for natural irrigation and use a minimal amount of chemical fertiliser and pesticides to ensure better protection for both seeds and soil.

Omarchevo Farm

We are young farmers with a young family, who have been given a fantastic first opportunity to farm our very own holding at Red Hill Farm. We farm approximately 100 acres which is mostly permanent grazing pastures. There are 6.5km of hedgerows around the farm which have existed for many years, and attracts many different wildlife species.&nbsp;
 We currently farm a sheep flock of 200 breeding ewes which include, 160 blackface sheep, 25 pedigree Hampshire Down&rsquo;s and 15 pedigree Texels. These are lambed between the months of December and April, with the Hampshire Downs lambing in December and the Blackface ewes lambing in February/March and all lambs are sold for breeding and meat in the Autumn. We take good pride in our stock and have built up a very good reputation of producing high quality lambs.&nbsp;
 During the summer months, as a family we enjoy taking our pedigree stock out to shows all over the country and have been rewarded very well, having been awarded Champion several times.&nbsp;
 We took our tenancy on for Red Hill Farm in March 2021 and prior to this we have farmed our livestock for over 8 years together. Red Hill Farm has given us the opportunity to expand our livestock and farm our own holding and allows our young children to follow in our footsteps.&nbsp;

Red Hill Farm

Type: Wheat, Sunflowers, Rapeseed, Barley
The land is located between the villages of Gorni Dabnik and Pisarovo, in Pleven, Bulgaria. The farm is a representation of the marriage between the two villages - and the actual marriage of its owners, Trifon and Setka Goshevi.
Until Trifon&rsquo;s passing, the couple would attend to the land and look after the crops all year. This began in late October (when seeds were sowed), through to spring/early summer collection of the wheat - followed by planting and harvesting of sunflowers. Crop rotation has always been a standard practice in the country to manage pests and enrich the soil. They would use fertiliser from their farmhouse that came from the goats, sheep, pigs and chickens that used to live there.
They relied on winter snow and spring rain to irrigate the crops. When required, they would utilise man-made irrigation canals and use natural pressure to irrigate.
The farm has been in the family for two generations and permaculture has been predominantly used to cultivate wheat, sunflowers, and barley.
Setka now rents the farm to a local producer who has implemented modern ways of farming - improving the quality of both the produce and soil preservation (due to the modern and precise calculations of amount of seeds and fertilisers needed per square metre).

WHO ARE UNDO?
● UK-based carbon removal scale-up ● Scaling enhanced rock weathering (ERW) ● UK, US &amp; Australia-based operations ● Part of Stripe Climate portfolio ● Leading Science &amp; Research team ● Target to remove 1bn. tonnes by 2030
How we approach measurement
There are several handles to show that weathering has taken place: ● Products of weathering (Ca, Mg, Na, K and increase in pH). ● Fate of the CO2 sequestered through the reaction of carbonic acid and hydroxide ions&nbsp;released during the weathering process. ● Co-benefits, such as yield
To date, no single method has proven accurate in quantifying the amount of CO2&nbsp;sequestered, but are rather indications that weathering is taking place. Hence the need for&nbsp;model predictions and improvement of these through data gathered in the field.
Our approach to date has been to deploy all existing MRV approaches in our field and mesocosm trials combined with innovation for new techniques
Undo Field mesocosms
Field-adjacent soil mesocosms incorporate the&nbsp;complexity of field conditions, with the added&nbsp;ability to take a wider range of measurements&nbsp;on a higher frequency.&nbsp;They also allow for a more controlled basalt&nbsp;application for ground truthing of the model.&nbsp;This approach is well documented to measure&nbsp;an enhanced weathering signal in a closed&nbsp;system, see documentation for more information

Documentation on the UNDO project, highlighting their MRV approach for permanent carbon storage removal.

UNDO's MRV Approach

For any carbon removal technology, it’s critical that you remove more carbon than you emit. At UNDO we track emissions across all stages of our operational processes to understand the carbon expenditure.

Various frequently asked questions regarding ERW and UNDO

ERW and UNDO FAQS

Permanent carbon storage. Enhanced rock weathering locks up CO2 in the geosphere, with a permanence of 100,000+ years. This is comparable to engineered solutions, such as DAC, and far above semi-permanent nature based solutions, such as biochar.

ERW - THE BENEFITS

Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is a highly scalable carbon removal technology that locks up CO 2 for 100,000+ years, and UNDO are now delivering enhanced rock weathering projects in the US, UK, and Australia. The permanence of an engineered removal, with the co-benefits of a nature based solution. ERW helps farmers achieve crop yield increase of up to 16%. ERW increases soil health, reducing the need for soil amendments. ERW drives revenue back to local agricultural communities. ERW reduces ocean alkalinity to improve water systems
