Carbon capture with Andechser
With the initiative ‘KlimaBauern’ (Climatic farmers), Andechser Dairy Scheitz has launched a project that contributes directly in Germany to avoid release and binding of carbon.
For this purpose, the dairy supports and accompanies its ‘climate leaders’ with appropriate measures such as in the field of humus structure and biodiversity, and supports the work by the payment of €10 for each tonne of carbon dioxide, which is stored or avoided.
When the project was presented, managing director Barbara Scheitz was accompanied by Professor Urs Niggli from the Institute for Sustainable Food and Agricultural Systems ‘Agroecology.Science’, which the project is scientifically leaning on; Richard Mergner, who is state executive of the Bund Nature Conservation in Bavaria, and the organic Klimabauer, Georg Scheitz.
