This is a crop premium, not a carbon credit. Yields can fall without sprays. In July 2026 Lloyds and Wildfarmed launched a Food & Nature Resilience Fund to pay farmers for measured nature, soil, water and carbon gains, but its size and how to apply were not published. Only available if you supply this buyer; payments are usually per litre/tonne bonuses that the buyer can change or end. You often have to share farm data and carbon footprints. Not a carbon credit you can sell elsewhere.
