Abstract

The article examines innovative strategies for adapting agricultural enterprises to carbon farming in the context of the European Green Deal. The authors argue that the transition from traditional agriculture to carbon farming requires a profound and systematic transformation in the agricultural sector. This process involves the implementation of various technological, economic, and managerial changes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon sequestration. Technological changes are fundamental for carbon farming and include the use of advanced land cultivation methods, such as no-till or precision farming, which minimize soil disturbance and help retain carbon in the soil. An important element is also the implementation of crop rotations, which contribute to biodiversity preservation and the increase of organic matter content in the soil. It is substantiated that the use of drip irrigation and other water-saving technologies allows for more efficient use of water resources, reducing water stress and increasing crop resilience to climate change. Economic measures include the introduction of economic incentives and market mechanisms that encourage farmers to transition to carbon farming. It is proven that the increasing attention to products grown using sustainable technologies can stimulate demand for such products, which in turn motivates farmers to adopt more environmentally friendly production methods. This allows farmers to earn from measures that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase carbon sequestration, implementing advanced technologies such as precision farming or methods that minimize soil disturbance.
