Farming for Climate

What Farming for Climate does

Farming for Climate is a Belgian non-profit association (ASBL/vzw) established in 2021 and headquartered in St-Pieters-Woluwe, Brussels Region, with a stated mission to accelerate the agroecological transition of Belgian agricultural territories. The organisation operates as an intermediary platform that connects partner farms undertaking structured 3-year sustainable-agriculture transition programmes with corporate and individual donors who finance those transitions through a fiduciary transit account at the Fondation Roi Baudouin (King Baudouin Foundation). As of the most recent reporting, Farming for Climate has engaged €1,713,700 in transition funding across 48 partner farms covering 3,391 hectares, with 5,165 tonnes of CO2 reported as sequestered/avoided in 2022.

The association's core offerings consist of (i) structured 3-year agroecological transition projects for partner farms, (ii) a carbon credit programme that monetises verified climate outcomes, and (iii) a donation platform offering tax-deductible giving — 60% deduction for corporate donors and 45% for individuals. The organisation functions as a multi-stakeholder convener, brokering relationships between farmers, corporate sponsors, and Belgian agricultural research bodies including CRA-W (Centre wallon de Recherches agronomiques) and ILVO (Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek), and operates bilingually across Wallonia and Flanders.

Revenue is generated entirely through philanthropic donations; there is no commercial product or service revenue. Operating with a small team of approximately 23 employees, Farming for Climate counts among its supporters Fondation ENGIE, AQUAFIN, Euroclear, PWC, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank, GBL, and Fondation Carrefour, with the Fondation ENGIE 3-year partnership reaching its milestone in March 2026 and AQUAFIN joining as a partner in December 2025. The organisation's underlying technology stack is not disclosed; its core infrastructure is the contractual and fiduciary framework (3-year transition projects, Fondation Roi Baudouin transit account, carbon credit verification) rather than a proprietary software or AI platform.

Direct peers

• Kiss the Ground: US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit promoting regenerative agriculture and soil health through storytelling, farmer support, and policy advocacy. Comparable nonprofit structure and focus on soil carbon and biodiversity outcomes.
• Climate Farmers: European organization supporting farmers in regenerative agriculture transition through funding, technical assistance, and a community of practice. Similar mission and beneficiary base to Farming for Climate but operating at European scale.
• Soil Capital: Belgian company supporting farmers in transitioning to regenerative agriculture, with soil carbon certification and farmer payment programs. Closest Belgium-based peer with overlapping farmer-transition value proposition.
• Pour une Agriculture du Vivant: French nonprofit association accelerating agroecological transition by connecting farmers, agribusinesses, and civil society. Directly comparable to Farming for Climate's nonprofit intermediation model in a neighboring market.

Broad incumbents

• Regeneration International: Global coalition promoting regenerative agriculture practices across continents. Operates at broader international scope with similar agroecological and soil-carbon focus but through advocacy and coalition-building rather than direct farmer funding.
• EIT Food: European food systems innovation initiative supported by the EU, funding projects across the agrifood value chain including sustainable farming. Operates at significantly larger scale with public co-funding, making it a broader institutional incumbent in the same thematic space.
• Soil Association: Established UK charity focused on organic and sustainable farming, food certification, and farmer support programs. Larger incumbent with overlapping sustainability mission but broader portfolio of activities and certifications.

Regional players

• Fondation Terre & Forêts: French foundation supporting sustainable forestry and agroecological transition projects. Comparable donor-intermediated funding model for sustainable land-use projects but focused on French territory and broader land-use scope.
